Dr. Nick Morphopoulos (“Dr. Nick”) was born and raised in the East Bay. He studied animal physiology as an undergraduate at UC Davis and then completed Veterinary School at UC Davis in 1993. He spend an additional year completing an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at University of Pennsylvania. Growing up he was surrounded by animals including chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, finches, parakeets, and of course dogs and cats. Both his parents were in the medical field with his dad both teaching dentistry at UCSF as well as having a dental practice in the Berkeley hills. With Dr. Nick’s love of taking care of animals coupled with witnessing his father’s enjoyment of caring for people, veterinary medicine has been his lifelong dream. After working as a veterinarian for 24 years in Novato, he is moving his work to be closer to his home in Mill Valley. He is very excited to be joining the wonderful staff and doctors at Tamalpais Animal Hospital! His area of interests include challenging internal medicine cases as well as surgery, dermatology and of course dentistry. When not at work, Dr. Nick spends most of his time with his wife and son enjoying the outdoors, and loves sports including kitesurfing, mountain biking, motocrossing, backpacking, and skiing. In fact, he first became acquainted with Dr. Haevernick kitesurfing in the waves of Waddell north of Santa Cruz.
