Heather Luce

Dr. Heather Luce grew up in Connecticut attending the University of Connecticut for a degree in Animal Science. She completed her veterinary training at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. Initially, Dr. Luce’s passion for horses as a young girl drove her to focus on equine medicine on the east coast. After a few years of hard ambulatory veterinary work, she decided to change her lifestyle and transition to small animal practice, returning to her Connecticut home. Emergency medicine became a natural path for her to take with lots of experience doing emergency calls on horses. Small animal ER has become her home away from home. To this day, she reports that she often gets “goosebumps” talking to clients about ER medicine. She truly picked a career befitting her personality.
