Dr. Silva joined the Animal Hospital of Cloverdale staff as an associate veterinarian in July of 2007, after graduating from UC Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine in June 2007. Prior to veterinary school, Katie worked as a veterinary assistant at animal hospitals in Cotati and Sacramento. She received her BS in Biological Sciences at UC Davis in 2001. Dr. Silva and her business partner, Matt Ostermann, RVT purchased the practice from Dr. Biery in 2020.
Katie is a Sonoma County native, raised in Rohnert Park. She attended high school in Santa Rosa. Katie and her husband Mike have 2 children, Elizabeth born in May ’09 and Alexis born in January ’11. They reside in Cloverdale with their cat Dude. Dude was adopted after Dr. Biery and Dr. Silva repaired his broken leg when he was brought into the hospital as an injured stray.
In her spare time, Katie enjoys volunteering with Washington PTSA, and watching her children run cross country and track and play soccer. She also enjoys baking, camping, reading (especially Stephen King novels), and playing board games with family and friends.
