Dr. Diane Levitan, veterinary internal medicine specialist, has been practicing veterinary medicine since 1991. She has built several businesses and 4 veterinary practices, and is always pursuing more challenges. She is a ground-breaking entrepreneur and has introduced many new concepts into the field of veterinary medicine, including creating the first hospital in the world where families could stay overnight with their pets, pioneering the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for animals, and developing a traveling CT scan company.  Dr. Levitan is currently an associate professor of small animal internal medicine at Long Island University College of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Levitan has many interests in her field but making a lasting difference in veterinary medicine is key. She loves to teach, mentor and promote excellent veterinary care. In 2009, she started a non-for-profit as a means to give back to the community. Her latest endeavor, Chirp Vet Mentors, is a mentoring program for new veterinarians who need help “on the spot”.  For immediate case assistance, call Chirp!

 Some of her many skills include the medical diagnoses of the most difficult medical problems in pets using reasoning, deduction, radiography, ultrasonography and diagnostic laboratory testing. She is a consultant for many veterinarians and veterinary businesses, as well as for television, radio and print. She sits on several boards as Director and/or advisor. Dr. Levitan lectures worldwide on veterinary hyperbaric oxygen therapy, one of her greatest passions. She is so happy to fill a huge void in veterinary medicine with CHIRP Vet Mentors, LLC.
