Dr. William Bondarenko (Starts 2/24)
Veterinarian

Dr. William Bondarenko graduated with high honors from Ross University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2021. Following his graduation, he joined VCA, where he has been providing exceptional care to pets ever since. His journey in veterinary medicine began well before veterinary school, working as a kennel technician and later as a veterinary assistant at Riverview Animal Clinic, where he gained invaluable experience and developed a deep commitment to animal care.

Dr. Bondarenko has a keen interest in clinical pathology, cardiology, ultrasonography, internal medicine, and infectious diseases. He is passionate about advancing his knowledge and applying it to improve the health and well-being of his patients.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Bondarenko enjoys playing video games, riding motorcycles, and spending quality time with his family and friends. He and his wife, who is also a veterinarian, love watching movies and series together. Their household is filled with the love of their three pets: Luna, a playful long-haired Chihuahua; Voodoo, a curious cat; and Banner, a majestic ball python.

Dr. Bondarenko is excited to bring his expertise and compassionate care to the All Creatures community and looks forward to making a positive impact on the lives of pets and their families.
