Meet Dr. Lantz

Originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania, Daniel Lantz was brought up in a family that focused on a strong educational background and a love and respect for animals. Growing up, Dan and his family cared for dogs, guinea pigs, fish, birds, and a hedgehog!
While in college, Dan spent a summer as an intern at the Philadelphia Zoo. Dan also learned more about diagnostic imaging of exotic animals and wildlife from a mentor in his residency training program, who works with the Columbus Zoo. After moving back to the East coast, Dan has collaborated with his local zoo, The Essex County Turtleback Zoo.
Dan has always loved learning about the world around him, as well as having fun experiences with animals. Highlights of these experiences include when Dan and his wife Rebecca, a veterinary neurologist, went on safari in Africa. And also the time when Dan got to meet with his favorite animal, the capybara!
