DR. AUREA LUCAS, DVM
Dr. Aurea Lucas is originally from a small town just east of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her childhood home was surrounded by the Laurel Highlands and naturally spent most of her time playing outdoors. Favoring stuffed animals over baby dolls, she and her parents quickly knew her life would be focused on the care of animals.
Dr. Lucas graduated from Seton Hill University with a B.S. in Biology before moving to the Midwest to receive her DVM from Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. Ever since, she has been practicing veterinary medicine in the Chicagoland area. Her particular interests are in preventive medicine, soft tissue surgery, and dermatology. Her favorite part of the day is meeting proud new pet-parents!
Dr. Lucas’ best friend is a German Shepherd Dog with a big heart named Archibald. They are always out and about either hiking, catching frisbees, or enjoying dog friendly-patios. She also has two cats: Halsted and Baby Cat (one named after a surgeon, the other his favorite food). In her free time she enjoys cooking, gardening, and traveling.
