Phillip Meltzer
Before graduating from Cornell University’s DVM program in 2006, Dr. Meltzer practiced as an attorney in New York. Inspired by James Herriot, a British veterinary surgeon and writer, he began his journey from law to veterinary medicine. He spent a couple years working with local vets to gain experience and, along the way, spent time at Ground Zero decontaminating Search and Rescue dogs during 9/11.
In 2010, Dr. Meltzer moved to Washington with his fiancee and cat, Chutzpah. In his free time, he enjoys jamming with his band and anything outdoors.
“Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”
Audrey White
Dr. White, after taking a ten year hiatus from her career in business, decided to go to school for the first time. After being accepted to all 7 vet schools she applied to, she chose Ohio State and graduated with her DVM in 2001. She joined Alder Creek in 2005.
What drives her is her passion for connecting with clients and their pets, learning their story and helping owners make a decision that is best for their family.
Dr. White enjoys gardening, ballroom dancing and cooking in her free time.

Sharon Young
Dr. Young’s journey began in the fourth grade with her family’s veterinarian. When she and her family would visit their veterinarian, he always took the time to engage with the kids and teach them about their pet’s health. Inspired by her childhood vet, Dr. Young knew from a young age she wanted to become a veterinarian. She believes in treating the whole patient and educating pet owners so they can help their pets live happy and healthy lives.

Brianna Graisy
Dr. Brianna Graisy is our newest doctor to join our growing practice. She graduated from WSU’s DVM program in 2019, joining Alder Creek Vet Clinic soon after. When she was an undergrad taking a class in animal behavior, she started to realize the complexity of animal behavior. With her new desire to dedicate her life to animals, she began working in a vet clinic as a kennel assistant. After observing how doctors help their patients she knew she had to do that, too.What drives her is her belief in individualized medicine and the passion to help owners and their pets to be happy and healthy in life.
