Ellen Scherer, DVM, DAVDC
“My interest in veterinary dentistry started while in vet school. Then with each dental conference and hands-on experience, my interest grew into a passion! I was fortunate enough to have great mentors who supported me to become a board-certified. After several years of practice at a large clinic, I wanted to elevate my level of care for patients and their families. I found that VDS shares my passion, vision, and values for veterinary dentistry, especially the care received by the patient and their family. I am beyond excited to provide the VDS experience in Northern New Jersey.”
Dr. Ellen Scherer earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science at the University of Rhode Island. She then completed the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program at The Ohio State University. Post graduation, she pursued a rotating internship at Fifth Avenue Veterinary Specialists in New York City. Her training continued with a three-year residency at the University of Wisconsin, School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Scherer then completed her board certification to become a Diplomate of the American Veterinary Dental College. Prior to joining VDS Madison, she practiced for 5.5 years at a multi-specialty hospital in northern New Jersey.
Dr. Scherer’s special interests include periodontal treatments, endodontics, and mandibular and maxillofacial trauma treatment. Her primary goal is to work with her patients to optimize their oral health and quality of life while working with clients to plan for long-term management and success.
Outside of work, she loves spending time with her husband and two children, especially outdoors, watching football, baking, and keeping her rescue cat out of trouble.

Meghan Keefe, DVM
Resident in Dentistry and Oral Surgery
“I had always been interested in veterinary dentistry, but my decision to specialize in it was solidified after I saw the dramatic difference a single procedure made for my geriatric rescue cat’s quality of life. I was drawn to VDS because it afforded me the luxury of working alongside multiple board-certified veterinary dentists from various backgrounds. I am ecstatic to be a part of the VDS team!”
Dr. Keefe graduated with honors and earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2022. She then completed a rotating internship in Medicine and Surgery at The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, in New York, NY, followed by a Dentistry and Oral Surgery residency at Angell Animal Medical Center, Boston, MA. She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
In her spare time, Dr. Keefe enjoys watching ballet, ballroom dancing, and rhythmic gymnastics. She also loves yoga and taking her cat on supervised excursions in the great outdoors.
