Caitlin Rothacker, DVM

Dr. Rothacker was born in Idaho on a quarter horse ranch.  After moving to Putnam County, New York, she continued riding as a working student in a hunter/jumper barn.  She completed her undergraduate work at Bucknell University and veterinary school at the University of Illinois.  Following graduation in 2010, she moved to New Zealand for a one year internship at a Standardbred racetrack practice.  She returned to the US and completed a large animal rotating surgical and medical internship at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center.  Dr. Rothacker stayed on at New Bolton first as a resident in Ambulatory and Sports Medicine and then as a lecturer in the Field Service department.  She became board-certified by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in Equine Practice in 2014.  Dr. Rothacker's specific interests include lameness and diagnostic imaging, pre-purchase examinations as well as routine preventative care.  She is thrilled to be joining such a well-regarded team of veterinarians at Salmon Brook.
