Inspired by the adage “if you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life,” Dr. Katsur decided to leave her initial profession in private banking at JPMorgan on Wall Street to pursue her true passion of helping animals who cannot advocate for themselves. Dr. Katsur believes animals easily understand the language of true love and care, and she strives to provide that experience to all of her patients daily.
Dr. Katsur received a Veterinariae Medicinae Doctoris (VMD) degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and a Bachelor of Science degree from Boston College. Dr. Katsur graduated from the Sound Academy of Ultrasound Soft Tissue Imaging program, providing her the ability to perform abdominal ultrasounds on her patients in addition to her general practice. She has a special interest in preventive care, dermatology, and soft tissue surgery. Dr. Katsur also has a soft spot for elderly patients and strives to help them attain and maintain their best quality of life.
Dr. Katsur has been voted one of Northern Virginia’s Best Veterinarians by Northern Virginia Magazine every year from 2020 to 2024. Her interests include photography of animals in their wild habitat all over the world, challenging (sometimes extreme!) skiing, and hiking with her dog. In addition, Dr. Katsur is an enthusiastic fan of her hometown Pittsburgh Steelers.
