Dr. Zoe Daniels grew up on Long Island, NY with her mom, brothers, and miniature Dachshunds. Her passion for veterinary medicine was shaped early on by AMC, where she served as a volunteer and veterinary assistant during her school breaks in college and veterinary school.

She graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in biology and neuroscience before matriculating to Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. During her time in Ithaca, NY, she adopted a retired research Beagle, Poppy, and fell in love with hiking and the Seneca Lake wineries. She then came back to AMC and completed a small animal rotating internship before staying on for a residency in neurology/neurosurgery.

Dr. Daniels is most interested in neurosurgery, including the implementation of new surgical techniques for spinal malformations and neurologic tumor removals. She is also passionate about movement disorders and traumatic brain injuries/vascular diseases.

In her spare time Dr. Daniels enjoys going to live music events, trying new restaurants in the city, competing in New York Road Runner races, and spending time with Poppy. She is a classically-trained soprano vocalist and can sometimes be found in choirs around Manhattan.
