Dr. Richard Williams has served as Hospital Medical Leader since 1991, bringing decades of experience to the Petco veterinary hospital's care team. A graduate of Tufts University, he treats dogs and cats along with the occasional ferret, rabbit and guinea pig, offering skills ranging from dental surgery and soft tissue procedures to dermatology and endocrinology for complex cases. He's especially drawn to wellness care that follows a pet through every life stage, from puppy and kitten visits to senior years, and he prides himself on staying calm under pressure so his team can do the same. Outside the hospital, Dr. Williams enjoys traveling and spending time with family and friends, and he approaches every patient as if it were his own, listening closely to pet parents and tailoring treatment to fit their needs.
