Meet Dr. Emily Latham, DVM, Practice Limited to Diseases of the Eye

Dr. Latham has competed her ophthalmology residency training and has a deep love for animals and a passion for restoring sight. She provides thorough eye exams to diagnose eye conditions, relieve pain, and help pets see clearly and comfortably again. Dr. Latham combines clinical excellence with heartfelt care.

Dr. Latham: I was looking for a warm and supportive environment to complete my specialty training in and I found a very warm welcome at AEC! I am very excited to be a part of the team and to learn all I can about ophthalmology.

Dr. Latham: I have been fortunate enough to have had several animal friends change my life. They have a unique way of bringing friendship, compassion and healing to our lives. I was born loving animals and started riding horses when I was 4 years old. Their love and friendship have defined me as a person and my love for them is why I became a veterinarian..

Dr. Latham: Ophthalmology of course! I am so excited for the opportunity to learn from Dr. Davis. I also love to read and have an ever-growing list of books to read. I always like to get suggestions of people’s favorites!

Dr. Latham: I graduated from the University of New Hampshire with Bachelor of Science in Equine Science and a minor in Fine Arts. For veterinary school, I attended the University College Dublin where I graduated with second class grade 1 honors. I went on to be an intern at Peterson and Smith Equine Hospital and at the University of Pennsylvania, New Bolton Center.

Dr. Latham: Yes! I have published research papers on a variety of animal eye conditions. A complete listing of my research articles can be found on our Veterinary Information Network Publications page.

We want to make a difference in your pet’s life!  That’s why we have a few touches we think are pretty special and will have your pet barking or meowing to see us.

Medication refills – You can request a refill online with your phone or tablet.  We’ll have your pet’s prescription waiting for you!  Of course, you can also email or call us.

Cage Free – That’s right, dogs don’t like cages and neither do we!  We have special enclosures on the floor with beds for our doggie friends that may stay with us for retinal testing or a procedure.  The pens are open at the top with a little gate at the front to give the pups plenty of room and let them see around.

Cat Condos  –  For our kitty friends, we use small cat condos with a little area for hiding if they want to relax alone.  They also get towels to hide in if they prefer this instead.  We also work really hard to minimize your cat’s time with us and get them back to their family as soon as possible.  Learn more about Cat Visits here.

No Overnight Stays – Even if your pet stays with us, we’ll have them back with their family later that day.

Doggie treat bar – We offer a large selection of delicious treats for your dog.  We even have grain-free, hypoallergenic and organic options for our more discerning canine friends.

Slip-free surfaces – Slipping paws are just the worst!  That’s why we have special floors to prevent slipping.  Also, we don’t have any metal surfaces.  If your pet has to be elevated for the exam, we use a towel on the surface and our surfaces are like kitchen counters.

Coffee and treat bar – We offer a variety of snacks for our pet parents, as well.

Device counter and WiFi for our pet parents – Snap, chat and post about your visit here!

Updates on your visit – We send you detailed information on your visit with us and we send the information to your veterinarian right away to keep them updated on your pet’s eye health.

Dr. Latham: I like to travel and I would love to someday get to visit New Zealand, Japan and Scandinavia.
