About Dr. Greek
Jean Swingle Greek graduated with honors from the
University of Wisconsin's School of Veterinary Medicine. She then
completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the
University of Tennessee and a residency in veterinary dermatology
at the University of Pennsylvania. After passing her boards, she
was head of the dermatology department at Veterinary Specialists of
Kansas City, which was at that time the largest referral veterinary
practice in the Midwest. She also served as a consultant at the
University of Missouri's School of Veterinary Medicine, where she
taught senior students, interns and residents.
In 2000, she and her husband decided to leave the Midwest for Santa
Barbara. Since that time she has been the only board certified
veterinary dermatologist on the central coast and has seen cases in
affiliation with CARE in Santa Barbara and the Pet Emergency Clinic
in Ventura. In 2011, she opened her own practice.
She is a frequent lecturer on veterinary dermatology to primary
care veterinarians and has authored numerous articles and book
chapters on the subject.
When she is not practicing medicine, she spends time with her
husband and their numerous animal rescues, which include dogs,
cats, horses, pot-bellied pigs, goats and chickens. She and
her husband, Ray Greek, MD have also co-authored several books and
articles on the fallacies of using animals to develop cures for
humans.
