Originally from Maryland, Dr. Palaigos received his undergraduate degree from Loyola University Maryland before completing his veterinary training at The University of Pennsylvania in 2015. Upon graduation, he completed a 1 year rotating internship at Center for Animal Referral and Emergency Services in Bucks County, PA. After briefly spending time in general practice, he returned to emergency medicine which he has practiced exclusively as a staff veterinarian at a large referral hospital in the Philadelphia suburbs as well as providing relief emergency coverage to several smaller emergency and specialty hospitals in the region.

Dr. Palaigos enjoys the case variety, fast paced and unpredictable nature of emergency medicine. When not at work, he enjoys relaxing at home with his growing family, spending time outside, and traveling.
