Dr. Aaron Paushter earned his veterinary degree from the University of Illinois in 2019. He then completed a small animal rotating internship at North Carolina State University before returning to the University of Illinois for a three-year residency in neurology and neurosurgery. He achieved board certification by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine with the completion of his master’s thesis regarding a novel formulation of a common anti-epileptic medication.

Aaron’s professional interests include the diagnosis and management of seizure disorders and inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system.
