Dr. Mandy Kaiser graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Veterinary program at Auburn University and first joined VCA with a rotating internship at our Animal Specialty Group in Los Angeles during 2018-19. She joined the VCA Salem Emergency Department in 2020 and has been providing care most weekends, citing that she loves being able to provide hope for pets in need who have few options when most other veterinary clinics are closed.

Dr. Kaiser is driven by witnessing the power of the human-animal bond and being able to be a part of maintaining and/or strengthening that with medicine and education. Originally from Lexington, Kentucky, she enjoys getting lost in nature, camping, hiking, bouldering, and exploring.

She shares her home with three of her patients – a dachshund named Churro, and two cats, Cassiopeia and Maneki.

In her time away from work, she can be found using scrap wood to make small creations such as furniture or art, re-furbishing older furniture, or painting.
