Elexa Cribelar
Staff Veterinarian DVM, Fear Free Certified
Dr. Cribelar graduated in May 2018 from Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine with her DVM. She started her career working at an emergency/urgent care/GP hospital in Indianapolis, IN, where she divided her time working as a general practitioner and emergency/ICU doctor, gaining invaluable experience. She then transitioned to general practice and moved to PA in 2021 to be closer to family, where she joined VCA Bakerstown Animal Hospital. She currently resides with her husband, son, daughter, two dogs, and cat in the Pittsburgh area. She is USDA accredited, which allows her to create health certificates for pet travel. In addition, she is Fear Free Certified and dedicated to helping make the veterinary experience as least stressful as possible for pets and pet parents. Currently, she is passionate about small animal internal medicine cases, preventive care, and pain management for senior pets. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family, reading thriller novels, and hopes to get back into her passion of scuba diving.
