  Dr. Vasilakis earned her degree in veterinary medicine from Tufts University. She currently works at Linwood Animal Hospital in Lowell. Dr. Vasilakis donates her time to our facility to make sure our animals receive the very best veterinary care. To avoid causing the animals the stress of travel, she comes to our facility to do the exams. She often comes having already worked all day caring for domestic animals, but never complains. We are lucky to have her on our team!
