Dr. David Hunley is a board-certified medical oncologist and inveterate dabbler who is very happy to be a part of the VSEC team.

Dr. Hunley has now spent many years in the profession, as an assistant professor at Louisiana State University, as the sole medical oncologist in Rhode Island (at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists, where he first met Dr. Dicker), as the first full time specialist at Gold Coast Center for Veterinary Care on Long Island, teaching at Long Island University, speaking at veterinary events, and helping out at various specialty centers across the Northeast.

At VSEC, Dr Hunley's role as Chief of Staff will be to help the hospital grow and function smoothly to help create the patient-focused and team-based approach that is at the heart of the VSEC philosophy. He is focused on helping to demonstrate this approach to the new generation of veterinarians and working with the local veterinary community to show how different it can be to work with an independent specialty and emergency center.

Outside of work, Dr. Hunley enjoys traveling, hiking, disc golf, college basketball, fantasy football, and continuing to look upon the world with wonder. He has a remarkable wife and two grown children (also remarkable!), as well as a persnickety cat (Oliver) and a quirky small dog (Finn), all of whom keep him on his toes.
