What first attracted Dr. Smetschka to veterinary medicine was a deep desire to help animals and their people. 
​While not having any additional official certificates beyond her veterinary medicine degree, Dr. Smetschka enjoys taking continuing education seminars on a wide variety of topics related to her work, and staying abreast of any new developments that are available to help her patients and clients live a healthier, more enjoyable life. 
Outside of work, you can find Christine gardening and hanging with her dogs.
