Mercedes Cantu, DVM

Rotating Veterinarian

I am originally from New Philadelphia, Ohio, but have spent the last 9 years in Columbus, Ohio attending The Ohio State University for my undergraduate and veterinary medicine education. Before veterinary school, I worked in the radiology department at The Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center. This is when I started to realize my passion for diagnostic imaging and all the opportunities the specialty offers.

I am looking forward to working in a new area and with new people who I know will help me grow as a person and clinician.

Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy playing video games, watching anime and scary movies, trying new foods and coffee shops, and hosting friends. I also enjoy snowboarding and playing sports such as pickle ball, volleyball, basketball and softball, but there is nothing I enjoy more than snuggling up with my cat, Millie.
