Dr. Louis Licari joined the Fox Valley Animal Referral Center in 1996 as one of its four founding veterinarians and co-director of the Department of Emergency and Critical Care. He also is a founding partner of the Green Bay Animal Emergency Center and Horizon Veterinary Services, Inc. Before developing these practices, Dr. Licari honed his skills as a veterinarian on the East Coast.

Dr. Licari developed a passion for emergency and critical care medicine and surgery while working as an undergraduate in two busy emergency practices in New York. Following veterinary school, Dr. Licari received additional training through the Veterinary Institute of Trauma, Emergency and Critical Care (VITECC). He practiced at emergency clinics in the New York area for three years and served on the executive board of the Long Island Veterinary Medical Association before bringing his medical and surgical expertise to the Fox Valley.

Dr. Licari was honored as Veterinarian of the Year by the Wisconsin Veterinary Technician Association in 1997. Currently, Dr. Licari is an active member of several veterinary professional organizations, including the American Animal Hospital Association, Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society, Northeast Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association, Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association. He has maintained a strong interest in continuing education via professional conferences, seminars and symposiums.

Away from the clinic, Dr. Licari is an avid water skier and music lover, and is beginning to understand the frustrations of golf. You may also find him exploring state park trails with his wife, Alyce, and their two dogs, Spencer and Katie.

Although Dr. Licari’s professional focus is trauma management and emergency surgery, it is compassion for his patients and their families that he considers most important. This vibrant intellectual has made significant contributions to the superior levels of patient care available to animals in the Fox Valley.
