We are excited to welcome Tanya Gustafson, D.V.M., Ph.D., Clinical Assistant Professor, and medical oncology specialist to the VROC team. Originally from Dallas, Dr. Gustafson earned her undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Tufts University before completing both her veterinary degree and Ph.D. in cancer research at Texas A&M University. Following veterinary school, she continued her advanced training with a general internship at the Animal Medical Center in New York, followed by an oncology internship at Animal Cancer Care Clinic in Fort Lauderdale. She went on to complete her oncology residency training at Michigan State University and Colorado State University, where she became board certified in veterinary oncology. She then returned to South Florida to practice medical oncology.
Dr. Gustafson has a particular interest in feline lymphoma and transitional cell carcinoma, and she is passionate about providing compassionate, advanced cancer care to her patients.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Gustafson enjoys spending time with her husband and children, especially exploring parks and museums. Their family also includes Neo, a playful Corgi mix, and Wally, a Goldendoodle. When they get the chance, she and her family enjoy “glamping” and visiting state parks.
