Dr. Eli Parker

Dr. Eli Parker grew up in Chapel Hill, NC. The son of two veterinarians, he has been exposed to veterinary medicine from a young age. His time with the Boy Scouts and local volunteer organizations let him interact with and care for a wide variety of animals in many different settings, which further grew his passion for animal welfare and medicine.

After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill, Dr. Parker attended vet school at NC State to pursue a career in veterinary medicine where he could continue caring for animals on a daily basis while advocating for their welfare. He received his DVM from NC State in 2025.

He currently lives with two cats, Gus and Zoey, and a leopard gecko named Roger. When not working, he enjoys hiking outdoors, cooking, and local live music.
