After graduating from the Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island, Canada, Dr. Michelle Willis completed a small animal internship at Michigan State University, residency training in Comparative Veterinary Ophthalmology at the University of Georgia, and was board certified by the ACVO in 1998. She spent almost 4 years in academic practice at The Ohio State University and has been practicing veterinary ophthalmology for almost 3 decades in the private sector. For the past 11 years, has worked exclusively with cats in the Metro West area of Boston.

The cat has been a long-term personal and professional passion for Dr. Willis, from their behavior, unique set of ocular conditions, and special relationship with their owners. She currently oversees an ophthalmology service within a feline-only practice, providing the cat owner with the option to pursue specialty eye care for their pet in as calm and stress-free an environment as possible. In addition, she provides multiple local feline rescue groups with ophthalmology care. While she enjoys all aspects of feline ophthalmology, ocular surface disease, uveitis and corneal and eyelid surgery are of special interest. Dr. Willis is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners, a certified Cat-Friendly Veterinarian, and promotes the Fear-free philosophy in her daily practice. She frequently welcomes veterinary students to shadow her in clinics. Since sending her son off to college earlier this year, Dr. Willis has committed to more actively sharing her professional experiences as a feline-only ophthalmologist with her local veterinary community and her specialist colleagues.

Dr. Willis resides in Arlington, Massachusetts with her husband, two-one eyed cats and an athletic Border Collie. She enjoys various outdoor activities and home improvement projects.
