Dr. Michelle Tensley
DVM, MS, Board-Certified Veterinary Neurologist
Dr. Tensley grew up in Ohio where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in Zoology from The Ohio State University. Her veterinary degree was earned at Colorado State University in 2012, where she also completed a Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences. Her small animal medicine and surgery internship were at the Ohio State Veterinary Teaching Hospital and her neurology internship at the VCA Animal Specialty Center in Columbia, SC.
Her love of neurology led her on to a residency with The Animal Neurology and Imaging Center in New Mexico and board certification in Neurology through the American College of Internal Medicine. She has continued to work with The ANIC as both a neurologist and medical director.
Dr. Tensley’s interests include both medical and surgical neurology. She believes in a whole-patient approach to treatment and is currently working toward certification as a canine rehabilitation practitioner through the University of Tennessee to optimize the post-surgical care of her patients. Dr. Tensley is also passionate about teaching the next generation of veterinarians and neurologists so serves on the Pathway Vet Alliance house officer steering committee and ACVIM neurology resident exam committee.
In her spare time, she enjoys exploring the outdoors with her husband and 2 young sons, all of whom are excited to experience everything that the sunshine state has to offer.
