Dr. Rachel Roy

Associate Veterinarian - ER

Rachel Roy, DVM

Dr. Rachel Roy is an associate veterinarian at Pieper Veterinary and part of our rotating small animal medicine and surgery intern class of 2025-2026. Although she originally started with us in 2019 as a technician, we are delighted to welcome her back to the Pieper team as one of our newest veterinarians! A native of East Hartford, CT, Dr. Roy earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from the University of Connecticut in 2019 before attending the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island, Canada, where she received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2024. During veterinary school, she served as Vice President of the Emergency and Critical Care Club, reinforcing her strong clinical interest in emergency medicine.

Dr. Roy is RECOVER Certified and a member of both the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA). She is passionate about alleviating pain and providing care for animals who cannot voice their discomfort, with a life-long love of both medicine and animals. Outside of work, Dr. Roy enjoys hiking, watching movies, and horseback riding, a lifelong passion she began at age five. She shares her life with Bea, her 4-year-old Chihuahua mix, and remains dedicated to compassionate, responsive care in the fast-paced world of emergency veterinary medicine.
