Sage Veterinary Imaging appoints new veterinary neurologist

Sage Veterinary Imaging (SVI) has welcomed Olivia Shoup, DVM, as a veterinary neurologist. She will spearhead the center's neurology and neurosurgery practice including advanced neurological procedures involving stabilization and neuro-oncology, plus she will be a resource for area veterinarians.

"We're very excited to have someone with Dr. Shoup's level of training and experience join our team," Jaime Sage, DVM, MS, DACVR, expressed in a company release.¹ "When we couple Dr. Shoup's expertise with the human-quality imaging available at our new facility in Sandy, we can offer area pets the absolute highest level of diagnostics and treatment planning."

Shoup was born in Rochester, New York, and grew up in Dallas, Texas. She uncovered her love for neurology while in her undergraduate studies at Colorado State University (CSU). "As an undergrad, I learned about the action potential of a neuron, and I knew immediately I wanted to learn more. I was passionate about the nervous system – how it worked and how to intervene to yield better outcomes for pets,” she shared, in the release.

Before attending veterinary school at Oklahoma State University, Shoup achieved her bachelor's and master's degrees at CSU. According to the release, her advanced training consists of a rotating internship in small medicine and surgery, a neurology specialty internship, and a neurology and neurosurgery residency.¹

"I'm excited to join the team at Sage Veterinary Imaging," Shoup said. "With my specialized training and the best-in-class imaging equipment available here, I'm confident we can help local veterinarians and pet owners solve even the most complex medical concerns."

This facility marks the first pet outpatient imaging center in the Salt Lake City area.
