Terri McCalla is a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist. She obtained her DVM degree from Orgeon State University and Washington State University (combined program) in 1984. After completing a residency in comparative ophthalmology from the University of Missouri in 1989, she became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists in 1989 and received her MS in Veterinary Pathology in 1990. Dr. McCalla created her solo referral practice, Animal Eye Care LLC in Bellingham Washington, in 2001.

Dr. McCalla retired from active practice in 2019 to focus on her other interests, which include: the role of complementary and alternative medicine in animal vision health; veterinary ophthalmology education; feline herpesvirus; and empowering adults with autism to live meaningful lives
