Dr. Laura Buscher

Dr. Buscher graduated from Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine in 1988. Dr. Buscher loves being an active participant in her profession and enjoys researching and designing new services. Her goal is always to provide better care for pets in an ever-evolving digital era. Dr. Buscher left Virginia in 2016 to practice in one of the largest specialty, ER and critical care , Gp veterinary hospitals in the US . She loved practicing among 50 doctors in a teaching hospital setting with residents and interns. While there she was able to observe open heart surgeries performed by a team flown in from London.
After all this excitement and hands –on experience, Laura decided to return to Virginia to be a part of a community and to get to know clients more intimately—that is how she believes the best care and treatment starts for a pet.
In the past, Dr. Buscher has participated in competitive obedience, dog breed shows and hunt tests. She currently has 2 dogs and a cat she personally enjoys on a daily basis. She loves having animals in her life and always has. She strives to help others enjoy their relationship to the fullest. The goal of Five Forks Animal Clinic is to be there for the life of your pet.
