Dr. Baran grew up in a small suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. She received her B.S. in Biology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2004. After several years of deliberation, Dr. Baran made the decision to go back to school to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. She is a proud graduate of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine Class of 2013. Dr. Baran absolutely loves being a veterinarian and enjoys the rewarding career of helping animals and their owners. When Dr. Baran is not at work you may find her fishing, watching football (Go Buckeyes!), enjoying one of the beautiful local beaches, or spending time with family and friends. Dr. Baran has three adopted pets, a Domestic Shorthair named Max, a Shih-Tzu named Duffy, and a Pomapoo named Haley.
