Eric Andersen, DVM

Dr. Andersen received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1985 at Colorado State University. He received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Washington State University in 1996. Thereafter he worked as a small animal practitioner in Eugene, Oregon, until he and his wife, Dr. Danica Salamun, moved back east to be closer to family. They bought the Ballston Spa Veterinary Clinic in 2004.

In addition to general small animal medicine, Dr. Andersen's special interest is in Orthopedic Surgery. He has advanced training in fracture repair by external skeletal fixation (as shown in the above photo). He performs cruciate ligament repair by the TPLO technique as well as the extracapsular (lateral suture) method. He routinely repairs luxating patellas (trick knee caps) by the wedge trochleoplasty and tibial crest transposition technique. He is a member of the Veterinary Orthopedic Society and he frequently attends advanced training courses on the subject. Dr. Andersen also oversees the clinic's physical rehabilitation program.

Dr. Andersen enjoys exploring the outdoors of the Northeast with his family.
