Dr. Eli Braun VMD

Dr. Braun grew up just north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania around many creatures including cats, dogs, and birds which showed him the value of the human animal bond.  He graduated from the University of Minnesota with a double major in Molecular Biology and Animal Science.  He enjoyed his time studying in Minnesota while also working as a small animal vet tech, participating in sustainable farming in the surrounding area, and pursuing animal disease research. After undergraduate he earned his VMD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine while working in the microbiology lab and spearheading efforts to expand diversity, equity, and inclusion. Afterwards he moved to New York City to be around family and friends and join the great team at Heart of Chelsea.

Dr. Braun believes in approaching the care of his patients as a team with their families to ensure their best well-being. Outside of the clinic he spends his time exploring local parks with friends, trying his best at cooking, and continuing a lifelong passion of woodworking. He is excited to start his journey in New York by developing meaningful relationships with his clients and patients at the Heart of Chelsea group.
