Meet Dr. Bamberg
Dr. Bamberg is originally from Centreville, Alabama, where he grew up working on his family's cattle farm and feed, seed, and fertilizer business called the Centreville Gin. After high school, he joined the US Army NG 20th SFG (Abn). A car accident essentially ended his military career and led to Dr. Bamberg's decision to become a veterinarian. During recovery from the accident, a stray dog named Gypsy watched over him. He believes that God used Gypsy and the car accident to guide him towards veterinary medicine.
Dr. Bamberg completed his Bachelors Degree in Biology at UAB while working there in the research department. During that time he co-authored three papers. He also pursued music as a drummer for a couple of popular rock bands in the area and hiked/backpacked throughout the western United States.
Dr. Bamberg graduated from Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2004 and has been practicing veterinary medicine ever since. He has a beautiful wife, Rebecca, and daughter, Catherine. They have two dogs, Pete and Gus, and three cats, Osca, Olive and Ella.
