Christopher Christia Jr. grew up in the Town of Tonawanda and is returning to the area after 7 years away. He’s always had a passion for veterinary medicine: he worked as a veterinary assistant before becoming a licensed veterinary technician through Medaille College, and then pursuing his doctorate of veterinary medicine at the Tuskegee College of Veterinary Medicine. His already well-rounded education was complemented by internships at Brighton-Eggert Animal Clinic and Veterinary Dentistry Specialists in Chadds Ford, PA, among others. His areas of clinical interest include Internal Medicine, Clinical Pathology, Surgery, Preventative Medicine, and Anesthesia. Outside of the hospital, Dr. Christia enjoys working out, playing video games, watching the Buffalo Bills and Ohio State Football, and staying in with his wife Lyndsay and their blue pitbull, Luca.
