Dr. Maria Carr is orginally from Arizona. She graduated cum laude from the University of Florida with a bachelor's degree in Biology before earning her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Midwestern University in 2025. She then completed a small animal rotating internship at BluePearl Pet Hospital Pittsburgh North, where she cared for patients across emergency and specialty medicine and continued to develop her passion for veterinary ophthalmology. Dr. Carr is excited to continue her ophthalmology training at Veterinary Eye Clinic. She enjoys the wide variety of ophthalmic cases, the precision of microsurgery, and thoughtful problem solving that comes with every patient. In her free time, Dr. Carr enjoys hiking, scuba diving, traveling, discovering new restaurants, and searching for the best pasta wherever she goes. She adores her husky, Dewey, who would much rather nap than hike but is always happy to tag along for the ride. Dr. Carr is thrilled to be in Southern California and looks forward to meeting you and your pets.

Real testimonials from families who trusted Dr. Carr with their pet's vision care.
Matt and Hannah
VEC Alhambra
"I was referred to this clinic by my vet after my dog developed a growth on his eyelid. Veterinary eye clinic did an amazing job taking care of my pet and me. The front desk was friendly, communicative and would follow up before and after appointments. Dr. Sheahan is truly amazing at what she does. I felt like the clinic really cared for my pet and I can’t thank them enough."
Francesca
VEC Calabasas
"The VEC team was so kind and thorough with our fur baby. He had a freak accident that ultimately had to end up with his eye being removed, but they helped make what was an awful situation the best it could be. They were super understanding and considerate with all things and we are so grateful for the outcome of our little man's operation. Thank you to everyone at VEC for taking care of our Enzo!"
