Dr. Melissa Wu grew up in Olympia and always knew she wanted to become a veterinarian. A proud Cougar, she earned her BS in Neuroscience followed by her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Washington State University. After years in small animal practice in Olympia, her family moved up to Mercer Island in the summer of 2016 and she joined the team at MIVC in the fall.
Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Samantha moved to Seattle in Fall of 2016 after serving four years in the U.S. Army. Although Samantha is relatively new to veterinary medicine she has harbored a love for animals and their beloved owners since childhood. This love transferred into adulthood and became the driving force for her to Army separation.
We feel extremely fortunate to be allowed to provide the highest quality medical care for our patients in a compassionate and welcoming environment. We pledge to protect the physical health of our patients, to safeguard their emotional welfare, and to be stewards of the treasured human-animal bond through our vocation of veterinary medicine.
MIVC Techncian Monique is a Veterinary Technician Specialist in Behavior with over 20 years of clinical experience. Her passion for patient welfare and the human-animal bond have inspired her to teach families and veterinary teams how to use tools like desensitization, classical conditioning, classical counterconditioning, operant conditioning, and more to teach pets how to be willing partners in their own veterinary care.

Friendly & patient staff finally was able to follow in with my dog for care (due to COVID was previously not allowed inside) was so impressed at how patient and caring they were! The vet tech was so wonderful and caring with my dog I loved knowing he was in such good hands even previously. Will recommend this place to everyone!

I highly highly recommend this clinic, especially for animals that are afraid of vet visits. Without Mercer Island Veterinary Clinic and their awesome staff (especially Monique), I would not have been able to give my dog proper vet care. He was turned away from Phinney Ridge for getting aggressive as he is very anxious about being poked and prodded. Monique's Cooperative Care visits, which I take advantage of every two weeks, have been life saving for both my dog and me.
If that wasn't enough, the staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating with scheduling and any questions about my dog's care that come up. I can't thank them all enough!

We can't say enough good things about the excellent care we have received for our pets over the past 18 years from Drs Crocker, Mulvaney, and Wu. The staff are also wonderful and so supportive when we have had ill pets (mostly dogs). It is so reassuring to us to have such a wonderful team of veterinarians and veterinary technicians to care for our pets. - Chris and Jennifer V.

Wow! I am a trainer and shelter volunteer that work with lots of shy fearful dogs. Dr. Wu and Monique, Behavioral Vet Tech, were such a pleasure to work with. My BC Ranger has anxiety around noises and other things. We did our entire exam outside for his comfort and had as much time as we needed to discuss everything in detail. I am thrilled.

We have our both pets, a dog and a cat, in the MI Veterinary Clinic care and we are very pleased with their services. My last visit concerned my senior cat. I received very professional services and more than that, emotional support. Once the test results were received, we were able to make a plan and hopefully try and buy at least a couple more years for our Tasha.

We are very grateful to Monique and Dr. Wu for their thorough evaluation, and pertinent, much-needed recommendations. They spent over 2 hours with us, really got to the essence of our dog's personality, and began appropriate treatment strategies during our initial visit. They generated a detailed report, which they will share and discuss with other members of our dog's care team, including her trainer.
This is much appreciated, since coordination of care is essential to tackling dog aggression. They are clearly experts in this field, and we look forward to continuing to work with them.

We had a great experience! The staff at Mercer Island Vet Clinic did a lot to make sure our dog was comfortable even prior to our visit. The pre-visit questionnaire made it easy to create an environment that was comfortable for our dog, Beaux. They even made sure the tech and vet were both women (since our dog shies away from men sometimes). They did a great job and we will definitely be back.
