My name is Svetlina Aleksandrova, and I’ve dedicated my career to veterinary medicine,
specifically dermatology. After graduating in 2011, I consistently pursued opportunities to deepen

my expertise in skin diseases. My most immersive experience began in September 2019: a three-
year specialization in Greece at the University of Thessaly, under the mentorship of Dr.

Saridomichelakis. This rigorous program culminated in July 2023 when I successfully passed a
four-part international exam, earning me the title of European Specialist in Veterinary
Dermatology.

I often describe medicine as a complex puzzle, and myself as a detective piecing together clues to
form the most accurate picture. In dermatology, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for assembling
these pieces. The most effective approach is always fully individualized, tailored to the unique
needs of each patient and their owners. This is precisely why I consider dermatology an art – the
„recipe” is never a secret, but rather a distinct, personalized solution for every single patient.

My passion lies in blending my clinical experience with cutting-edge 21st-century scientific
advancements to discover the perfect „recipe” for my patients.

In sunny Louisiana, I balance my professional life at the LSU Veterinary Medicine Teaching
Hospital with my personal life. My days are a dynamic mix of clinical cases, teaching students and
residents, and enjoying time with my 6-year-old son.
