Dr. Dorothy Girimonte is a board certified veterinary oncologist. From a young age she felt a passion for working with animals. Although she considered marine biology and zoology, after working as a kennel assistant during high school she was ultimately called to practice veterinary medicine.

Mississippi State University is where Dr. Girimonte received her undergraduate degree as well as her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. She completed a residency in oncology at the Veterinary Cancer Center in Connecticut. She became board certified in medical oncology in July 2015 and later became certified in acupuncture through the Chi Institute in 2019.

Dr. Girimonte has worked in private practice in both NJ and CT, which is where she first experienced working with FidoCure®.  She then joined FidoCure full-time in 2021 to help educate veterinary professionals about their genomic sequencing and targeted therapy options.  She remained with FidoCure®  for about 2 years before returning to private practice in South Jersey.

While at home, Dr. Girimonte has several furkids that keep her busy and enjoys reading, knitting, and attempting to have a green thumb.
