Dr. Shelby Reinstein founded the Vet Vision Center in 2022 with the goal of providing exceptional eye care for pets while offering an elevated and enjoyable visit for pet parents. By focusing solely on ophthalmic care, the Vet Vision Center was designed to promote the best possible patient care while achieving outstanding client service, and being a really great place to work!
Outside of clinical practice, Dr. Reinstein's other true passion is teaching other veterinarians about ophthalmology. She lectures nationally and internationally providing continuing education seminars and wet-labs. Dr. Reinstein also recently published the Guide to Clinical Ophthalmology, a handbook for general practitioners. She writes for Clinician’s Brief, Today’s Veterinary Practice, All About Cats, and is the ophthalmology consultant for the #1 provider of online veterinary continuing education, VETgirl.
Dr. Reinstein is a proud mother of a rambunctious boy with her husband Dr. Garret Pachtinger, a board-certified critical care veterinarian and co-founder of VETgirl. They share their home with a mini-Poodle (Pickles) and 2 cats (Joie & Nadia).
