Dr. Dara Zirofsky
Dr. Zirofsky attended Brown University for her undergraduate degree, and UC Davis to obtain her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. After completing her veterinary degree, she went on to a general internship and then an ophthalmology internship at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in New Jersey. Her ophthalmology residency and Masters Degree in Clinical Sciences were accomplished at Colorado State University where her research focused on canine glaucoma and feline herpes virus.
She moved to Washington state in 2009 and knew immediately it was forever home. She practiced at Northwest Animal Eye Specialists in Kirkland for 16 years until it closed in February 2025. She has been inspired by her clients and patients alike. She is continuing her work in the Puget Sound area as See Spot Veterinary Ophthalmology.
Dr. Zirofsky relishes her time with her husband, super mutt Citra, doodle Alfie and her cat George with far too many toes. She enjoys all the Pacific Northwest has to offer from beautiful nature to exceptional community.
