About Dr. Dial

Dr. Dial received her DVM from Colorado State University in 1982.

Dr. Dial has been a diagnostic pathologist for the last 25 years and has enjoyed working with veterinarians across the nation in diagnosing disease, with a particular interest in oncologic pathology and infectious disease.
