The Doctor

Dr. Ashley Deforno, DVM

A proud Penn State alum with a flair for Veterinary and Biomedical Science, Dr. Ashley Deforno then trotted over to Kansas State, where she clinched her DVM in 2019. Since then? She’s been deep in the world of wagging tails, purring cats, and thankful pet owners.

Her award shelf boasts the shiny Gold Certificate from the Veterinary Business Management Association – but if you ask her, it’s the small moments with pets and their owners that truly count.

Away from the vet table, Dr. Deforno is probably riding horses, diving into her latest craft project, or setting up a cozy campsite. She’s also the go-to person for campfire snacks among her friends.

On her approach with her furry patients, she says, “Whether I’m on the floor or at the table, making our four-legged friends comfortable is my top priority. It’s a joy to see pet owners feel they’re part of our East Market Veterinary family. Because here, every pet isn’t just a number; they are family.”

Dr. Deforno is all about hard work and evidence-based care, but she’s big-hearted, too. She believes in adapting plans to suit every pet owner’s pocket without compromising care. “Doing a test? Only if it truly helps your pet,” she says with a wink.

Her mission? “Hard work, sharp science, and heaps of love for our team, the pets, and you.” Drop by East Market Veterinary Center, and you’ll feel that love from the first “Hello!”
