As Regional Vice President for the East, Dr. Brian Stewart leads operational and medical support for the hospitals in the East region of the US. Originally from the Chicago suburbs, Dr. Stewart attended the University of Illinois where he received his BS, BA and later his DVM with high honors. He went on to complete a small animal rotating internship at The Ohio State University.  He worked in a variety of settings including private and corporate general practices along with ER and specialty medicine. He is skilled in ultrasonography, dentistry, surgery, and emergency procedures and really enjoys mentoring new doctors. He discovered his passion for developing veterinary leaders when he entered his first field leadership role in 2015.

Dr. Stewart lives in Raleigh, NC with his fiancé, two kids, two cats and a golden retriever. He enjoys working with his hands spending most of his free time working on house rehabilitation projects. Any leftover time gets spent covering shifts at the local ER clinic, exploring nature with his family, and playing tennis or music such as guitar and piano. He is fluent in Spanish and enjoys breaking down communication barriers so people and their pets can get the care they need.
