DVM, MVSc, Dipl.ACVAA

American Specialist in Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia

Center for Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery, USA

Dr. Matt Read graduated with a DVM with distinction from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Canada in 1998. Following graduation, he completed a residency in veterinary anesthesiology and a Master of Veterinary Science in wildlife anesthesia, and he became board-certified with the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia (ACVAA) in 2002. Following his residency, Matt taught at the University of Georgia for two years before returning to Canada and developing and supervising the anesthesia services in two large specialty hospitals in Toronto and Calgary. Matt then joined the University of Calgary’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine where he spent eight years teaching vet students and serving the community before moving to Ohio where he practiced as an anesthesiologist and served as specialty team leader at MedVet for seven years. In 2026, Matt took on a new challenge and joined the Center for Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery in Maryland, a large dental referral center where he is excited to develop the anesthesia service and care for new patients. Matt has delivered over 130 lectures and workshops around the world and is co-editor of two textbooks, Veterinary Clinical Skills and Small Animal Regional Anesthesia and Analgesia. He dreams of someday going into space and opening an ice cream shop in the Caribbean, not necessarily in that order.
