"Dr. Luca Popescu (he/him) is a Hospital Veterinarian with a focus on infectious and zoonotic diseases. He is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and Kansas City Veterinary Medical Association (KCVMA) and is experienced with a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to lab animals like monkeys and rodents. Dr. Popescu's veterinary career was inspired by a lifelong appreciation for both medicine and animals. He has always felt a close connection to animals and the many ways they enrich our lives—and both his parents are medical doctors—so working with animals and their human companions through veterinary medicine just made sense. Dr. Popescu earned his undergraduate, veterinary and graduate degrees from Kansas State University. He currently practices in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, a location that offers the perfect balance between proximity to the city and access to outdoor activities.Outside of his veterinary practice, Dr. Popescu enjoys a variety of hobbies, including fishing, triathlons (swimming, cycling, running) and woodworking, and he participates in local cycling clubs. At home, he shares his life with two dogs, two cats and a tarantula."
