We are very pleased to welcome the addition of Elizabeth Ballard Lopez, VMD, as an Associate Veterinarian on the staff of Silver Maple Veterinary Clinic.
Elizabeth was born and raised in Hershey, PA. After graduating from The Pennsylvania State University with a degree in Animal Science, she attended veterinary school at the University of Pennsylvania and is a 2003 graduate.
Elizabeth then completed an equine medicine and surgery internship in Scottsdale, Arizona. From there she proceeded to Texas A&M University where she completed one year of a large animal internal medicine residency. After deciding that the academic environment was not her style, she moved to the Texas panhandle where her husband, Mark, was a practicing dairy veterinarian. She was employed for the past 2 years as a mixed animal practitioner in the rural town of Dalhart. During this time, Elizabeth was active in providing veterinary services to the local dog shelter and raising public awareness about the benefits of spaying and neutering dogs and cats.
Elizabeth’s professional interests include curbing the pet overpopulation problem, equine medicine, small animal surgery, ultrasonography, and pathology. She also enjoys good food, good friends, and good music including that of her husband’s band. She likes riding her Haflinger, spending time with her 3 dogs and 4 cats, and taking in the scenery from the back of Mark’s BMW motorcycle.
