Marie Crowe, DVM (she/her) received her veterinary degree from St. George’s University after completing her clinical year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Crowe is passionate about caring for all creatures, big and small! She has experience with small mammals, waterfowl, reptiles, and fish. Dr. Crowe is dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate treatment tailored to each pet’s needs. While she loves exotics, she also enjoys caring for cats and dogs. She believes there is nothing better than getting tail wags and purrs from her patients.

During veterinary school, she was president of the World Aquatic Veterinary Medicine Association student chapter (WAVMA), on the executive board of the Exotics and Wildlife Club, and worked in the Veterinary Aquatic Animal Research Laboratory. She also organized a spay and neuter day which provided 3rd year students the opportunity to gain more surgical experience as well as provide low-cost sterilization options for the community.

Dr. Crowe grew up in a suburb of Chicago but moved to Milwaukee to attend Marquette University. She fell in love with MKE and knew she wanted to return after veterinary school. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her very spoiled Pit Bull named Kira, traveling with her friends and family, and scuba diving when she can.

Dr. Crowe looks forward to meeting you and your beloved pets—whether furry, fuzzy, or scaly!
