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!”
