My name is Dr. Sherrie Xie

Dr. Sherrie Xie (pronounced "see-eh") is a fourth-generation acupuncturist and holistic medicine practitioner who bridges a rich heritage in Eastern medicine with rigorous scientific training in Western veterinary medicine. She earned both her Veterinary Medical Degree (VMD) and PhD in Epidemiology from the University of Pennsylvania, where her doctoral work focused on advanced quantitative methods and population health. After graduate training, she spent three years leading research initiatives investigating global rabies outbreaks and antimicrobial resistance before transitioning into clinical practice, where she applies her research training to deliver thoughtful, evidence-informed care.

 

At Art City Vets, Dr. Xie serves as an Associate Veterinarian and heads the Integrative Medicine Service. She is also an Assistant Professor at Chi University, where she teaches and conducts research on complementary and integrative therapies in veterinary medicine. She complete

d her formal acupuncture training at Chi University in 2019 and remains deeply committed to advancing the scientific understanding and effective integration of these therapies into modern veterinary practice.

 

What Dr. Xie treasures most in practice is building trusted relationships with pets and their families while tailoring care to their individual needs. She lives in South Philadelphia with her husband, who is also a veterinarian, and their senior dog and cat, both proud "foster failures." They are eagerly awaiting the birth of their first (human) child. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, hiking, and rock climbing.
