Dr. Bart Iaia is a 1992 graduate of Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. Prior to veterinary school he attended the University of Vermont and obtained his Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences. He has been practicing at emergency clinics and general practice clinics in Maine and Washington. Dr. Bart (as he commonly goes by) grew up in both New England and Florida. He moved to Seattle in 1995, and fell in love with the climate and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. “I have always admired Veterinary Medicine. It truly is a profession that allows one to practice all aspects of medicine.” His professional interests include dentistry, nutrition and animal behavior. Dr. Iaia also has interests in complimentary medicine and has completed courses in Lomilomi, an ancient Hawaiian healing art. Lomi lomi means to break up into smaller pieces. True to way he was taught, he performs LomiLomi on the ground. This healing art can be applied to the veterinary field and many pets enjoy the touch, and relax quickly during the session. It may be likened to Reiki or other type of healing work but allows an experience and honor all of its own. Please visit kalama.org for more information regarding LomiLomi. He is also certified in Veterinary Acupuncture from the Chi Institute of Reddick, Fl. Acupuncture is a 2000 year old art of healing that involves stimulating certain points within the body to promote healing. It is very effective in treating chronic conditions such as arthritis, IBD and skin disease. Dr. Bart enjoys spending time with his wife Denise, their daughters Brie and Gianna, and their pets. Currently he has two dogs, one cat and a fish. Hobbies include gardening, eating (and occasionally cooking) and water skiing when the water is “just right.” |

Denise
Iaia
Denise Iaia, PHR, completes our staff as Hospital Manager. Denise's skills in Human Resources and Business Management have come in quite handy. "Working at Renton West has truly been exciting. I am very fortunate to work with a great group of hard working and compassionate people. I have come to understand the human animal bond, and am deeply touched by the love people have for their pets. Nothing pleases me more than to see a small puppy or kitty and the joy on the owner's face." Denise is here to make sure your experience at Renton West is second to none. And to make sure that Dr. Bart and the rest of the team take care of you and your furry family member. In Denise's spare time, she is the mother of a two wonderful little girls named Brie and Gianna, and also a mother to two dogs, one cat and a fish. She also is a wonderful wife to Dr. Bart. |
