Dr. Melanie Butera

As an emergency clinician for nearly 20 years, there is not too much "Dr. Mel" has not seen. Having treated over 70,000 emergencies, she brings a great depth of experience in trauma and
medicine to ERAH. She looks forward to developing more personal
relationships with clients than was possible on emergency, and to
concentrating on keeping your pets well-- not just treating their injuries!
Dr Butera, like all our doctors, is a graduate of the Ohio State
Univetsity College of Veterinary Meidicine. She is a Stark County
native and has lived in Canal Fulton for 7 years. She loves living
in this beautiful small town.


Since "retiring", Dr. Butera has been doing relief work primarily at Mogadore Veterinary Hospital, but has also been traveling the country and been busy planning the future for ERAH. She has also become an adjunct professor for Stark State College. At home, she finds great joy in spending time with her husband Steve and their many pets: 2 cats, a standard poodle,  and a domestic deer named Daffodil (our ERAH mascot). She is also an accomplished Macintosh database developer and is the "techie" behind ERAH.
