Dr. Lang

Kristina Lang, DVM/Practice Owner

Dr. Kristina Lang moved with her husband to the Monadnock Region from Concord in 2015. “I really wanted to find a job at a hospital in town because I wanted to become more a part of the community. I love getting to know clients and their animals and building a relationship with them over time. I approach my interactions with clients as if we are a team working together to provide the best care/outcomes for their pets and for them,” says Dr. Lang. Dr. Lang’s early veterinary work experiences started at the San Diego Zoo. She completed undergraduate studies at the University of California, San Diego in 2000 and then went on to earn a degree in Veterinary Medicine from the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University in Massachusetts in 2013. She worked for Fisherville Animal Hospital & Bird Clinic in Concord for 2 years, complimenting her work as emergency clinician at Veterinary Emergency Critical Care and Referral Center and at Meredith Place Veterinary Emergency Hospital. Dr. Lang’s medical interests include ultrasonography, nutrition and internal medicine. Her interests and experiences well compliment the services offered here at Park Place Veterinary Hospital. Whether you’re a long time client here at PPVH or a new client, you can find Dr. Lang in all areas of the practice!
