Dr. Barrick always loved animals growing up. However, it wasn’t until her family adopted a rescue dog with severe anxiety that she realized her passion lied within strengthening the human-animal bond. Dr. Barrick completed her bachelor’s degree in animal science from Iowa State University, followed by her doctor of veterinary medicine at Ross University. During vet school, she volunteered with several outreach programs and developed a passion for animal welfare, preventative medicine and soft tissue surgery.
Dr. Barrick resides on the northside of Indianapolis with her husband Nick and their two pets, a dog (Sophie) and cat (Buttercup). In her free time, she enjoys tailgating Iowa State football games, golfing, hiking, and playing pickleball.
