Amber Fischbach, DVM

Dr. Amber Fischbach grew up in rural Missouri working in her parents’ mixed animal veterinary hospital and animal rescue program and always knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. She received my Bachelor of Science in Animal Ecology at Iowa State University and earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis. Dr. Amber recently moved to Portland which has been a lifelong ambition of hers, to be closer to family and practice medicine in a community that holds a high standard of care for their animals. She is very excited to be at Irvington Veterinary Clinic and looks forward to meeting her new patients.

She enjoys learning about the unique needs and personalities of her patients and their families as well as collaborating with them to develop individualized treatment plans that best fit their lifestyles. It is important to her to stay current on the rapid advances in veterinary medicine so she frequently attends lectures, reads journal articles, and connects with veterinary specialists in her free time. Dr. Amber is very passionate about behavioral medicine and believes the emotional health of animals is just as important as their physical health. She is equally passionate about animal rescue work and looks forward to finding volunteer opportunities to help homeless animals in Portland and surrounding areas.

Outside of work, she enjoys endurance running, playing volleyball, snowboarding, and camping. She loves spending time with her rescue dogs and cats, who also enjoy going on camping trips.
