Meet Our Team

	My name is Cynthia S. Dahle, VMD and I am the owner of Bay Area Veterinary Hospital. I felt that in order for me to get to know you and your pet, you should know a little about me and my qualifications first. I received my Doctor Of Veterinary Medicine (V.M.D.) degree from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia in 1993 after a 13 year career as a nurse having graduated from Towson State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Nursing in 1979. My certification in Veterinary Acupuncture by the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society was acquired in 1993. I grew up in Severna Park and now reside with my husband, Mike Dahle, and rescued Airdale Terrier, McGuire in Chester on Kent Island. Upon graduation, I first practiced veterinary medicine as an Associate Veterinarian at Greater Annapolis Veterinary Hospital and left in 1996 to open Bay Area Veterinary Hospital. Mike and I love to bike, boat, enjoy steamed crabs and especially watch football- GO RAVENS!. My staff and I look forward to getting to know you and your pet as well!
