Marissa Berman, DVM
Practice Limited to Dentistry and Oral Surgery
Dr. Marissa Berman discovered her love of veterinary medicine, and dentistry in particular, while volunteering with a board-certified veterinary dentist back in high school. She earned her veterinary degree at Western University of Health Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine in Pomona, CA. She continued her training by completing an internship at Long Island Veterinary Specialists in Plainview, NY. Dr. Berman then worked as an emergency veterinarian for five years, caring for pets with all types of illnesses and injuries. She was accepted into a dentistry residency program at a private practice in Northern California, which she completed in 2020.
Her family includes a Pit Bull mix named Tater Tot, her husband, Mike, and twin sons, Tyson and Saxon. Tyson is named after her 17-year-old Yorkie, who followed her from high school through her residency. Being by the water, traveling, and spending time with her family is what she enjoys most.

With experience in animal behavior and dog training, she is Fear Free certified and values the importance of low-stress handling in the hospital setting. In 2022, Dr. Feuer joined the VDS team for a residency in Dentistry and Oral Surgery.

John Lewis, VMD, DAVDC, FF-OMFS
Board-Certified in Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery
“My years in general practice taught me the transformational effect of dental care. Many pet owners have shared that a dental procedure has transformed their dog or cat into a youngster again! Specialty training taught me the finer points of life-saving procedures, such as removing oral cancers and jaw fracture repair, and these are some of the most rewarding cases. The great thing about VDS is our uncompromising patient care. Each patient receives the best care in the finest facility from the best staff and world-renowned specialists.”
Dr. Lewis is past-president of the American Veterinary Dental Society. Dr. Lewis graduated from University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1997 and spent five years in general practice prior to returning for a residency in dentistry and oral surgery. He became a Fellow of the Academy of Veterinary Dentistry (AVD) in 2004 and a Diplomate (specialist) of the American Veterinary Dental College (AVDC) in 2005. Dr. Lewis is past-president of the American Veterinary Dental Society, and he is active on various committees of the AVDS, AVD, and AVDC.
At the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Lewis served as associate professor of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, associate director of the Mari Lowe Center for Comparative Oncology, and Chief of Surgery.
Dr. Lewis’ clinical interests include endodontics, feline tooth resorption, feline stomatitis, oral surgical oncology, noninvasive jaw fracture repair, and lasers in oral surgery and dentistry.
