DVM, Urgent Care Director

Dr. Elizabeth Hughs (they/them)

From a young age, Dr. Elizabeth Hughs dreamt of being a veterinarian. They graduated from St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine in Grenada, West Indies. Their last year of vet school she spent at Louisiana State University. Dr. Hughs completed a rotating small animal internship in San Antonio, TX, at South Texas Veterinary Specialist. Being born and raised in the Seattle area, they naturally returned to their roots after completing her education.

Dr. Hughs has interests in dentistry, feline medicine, and infectious disease. They try to encourage education, preventative medicine, and honesty.

Dr. Hughs and their partner enjoy all the usual outdoor activities that this area has to offer. Much of their time is spent volunteering with Scare Prod. Inc., helping create a haunt called Nightmare at Beaver Lake. Their three cats stay at home, exhausted from sleeping.
