Maddalena Palescandolo

Maddalena is originally from Busto Arsizio, Italy. Always having a strong passion for animals of all kinds, she studied veterinary medicine at the University of Milan. After graduating, she emigrated to the United States in 1999 in search of a job. Maddie and Dr. John met as young veterinarians and quickly moved in together. After marrying Dr. John, Maddalena went on hiatus from the veterinary profession. This was done to raise their four beautiful boys: Giacomo, Luca, Leonardo, and Lorenzo. Now, she has reemerged into the veterinary field as our Practice Manager. Maddie loves reading, cooking, and spending time with her family. Because of her many years spent traveling the globe, Maddie speaks Italian, English, Spanish, as well as a little bit of French. She shares four pets with her family: Marco, Benji, Bonnie, and Cheeto.
