Dr. Michael Perkel, who grew up in northern New Jersey, completed his undergraduate studies in Biology at The College of New Jersey. His passion for veterinary medicine led him to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, where he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Following his graduation, Dr. Perkel further honed his skills during a year-long internship at VCA Alameda East in Denver, Colorado. Seeking to specialize in Internal Medicine, he pursued a residency at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Now, Dr. Perkel is thrilled to bring his expertise to the Tri Lake Animal Hospital & Referral Centre and looks forward to exploring the Okanagan region. Joining him on this new adventure are his partner and their beloved pets: two dogs named Pika and Voda, and a cat named Midnight.
