Medical Director
University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine
A Massachusetts native, Dr. Sim is an experienced emergency veterinarian. After graduating vet school in 2004, she worked in Connecticut in a combined GP/emergency practice for 10 years before spending 9 years practicing specialty medicine with practice limited to dentistry and oral surgery. In 2023, Dr. Sim found her way back to her first love of ER medicine at VEG where her favorite thing is to help other ER doctors find a way to say yes to people and their pets when they need it most!
