Biography

Dr. Cecily Bonadio obtained her veterinary degree from UC Davis in 2010, and then returned there for her Internal Medicine residency, finishing in 2015. She obtained board certification in 2016 and after a brief time in Berkeley, decided it was time to come home to San Diego.

Endocrinology and auto immune disease are favorite parts of Internal Medicine for Dr. Bonadio, but she is also keenly interested in the management of chronic disease, geriatric medicine, endoscopy and ultrasound. Dr. Bonadio enjoys explaining all the options involved in the care of her patients and deciding which is the best choice for her clients.

Cecily loves living in sunny San Diego and when not at work can be found either at the beach with her two dogs, Zach and Olive, or in Ramona with her horse, Skylar.

    What is a board-certified veterinary internal medicine specialist?

    A veterinary internal medicine specialist is a veterinarian who has completed advanced training in internal medicine (including a one-year internship and three-year residency) following graduation from their veterinary college. The residency training culminates with a comprehensive examination covering all aspects of veterinary small animal internal medicine. Once these requirements have been fulfilled, the veterinarian is considered to be a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM).

    The umbrella of small animal internal medicine includes many sub disciplines including gastroenterology (esophageal, stomach and intestinal disease), hepatology (liver and pancreatic disease), endocrinology (hormonal disease), infectious diseases, urology (urinary tract disease), nephrology (kidney disease), respiratory medicine (nose, airway and lung disease), and hematology & immunology (blood cell and immune-disease). In many cases, the signs of a patient may include many of these organ systems. Due to their holistic approach, internal medicine specialists may also manage cases of patients with neurologic, cardiovascular or cancerous diseases, especially when these patients also share diseases within the scope of internal medicine.
