Tara joined the team at VCA Little Falls Animal Hospital as Hospital Manager in the spring of 2020. She grew up working at the VCA Ridgewood Veterinary Hospital with her father, Dr. Dean Cerf. Tara graduated with honors from New York Chiropractic College in 2001. When she became a chiropractor, she saw that her profession could help pets as well as people. She used her background in chiropractic to work with the veterinarians to develop protocols to use all modalities available from both conventional and integrative medicine to treat pets. Tara then transitioned to the management side of the veterinary business.
