A native of New York, Dr. Kristin Scott received her Biology degree from Cornell University and her Veterinary degree from the University of Minnesota. After three years at a small animal and exotics practice in NYC, Dr. Scott spent the next thirteen years at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, a premier, multi-specialty referral hospital in New Jersey. She completed her residency in Veterinary Dentistry through the University of Pennsylvania while directing the Dentistry department at Red Bank. In 2015, she became a Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC).
As a Diplomate, Dr. Scott has earned the designation of Veterinary Dental Specialist, of which there are less than 280 worldwide. Since achieving this degree, she has donated much of her free time supporting the American Veterinary Dental College through committee chairmanship, membership, and resident support. In 2021 she received the AVDC Presidential Medal for Stewardship in recognition of her dedication to the specialty of veterinary dentistry.
As an experienced lecturer and wet lab instructor, Dr. Scott loves that teaching enables her to positively impact the health of any patients her students/attendees care for. She has served as a locum Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Minnesota Veterinary College, co-authored multiple papers and serves as a reviewer for the Journal of Veterinary Dentistry and a guest reviewer for the Journal of Small Animal Practice. Clinically, Dr. Scott has a special interest in advanced periodontal surgery and bone grafting.
Dr. Scott lives with her husband, Matthew, sons Hunter and Hayden, and naughty cats Spots and Freckle. When not in the hospital or volunteering, she loves spending time with her family, watching movies, and baking new recipes for her very rapidly growing sons.
