Dr. Petesch grew up outside Washington, D.C., with love and curiosity for all animals. He attended Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he majored in biochemistry and met his wife, Kelsey. After college, he worked for a year as an assistant to a veterinary neurologist, and it became clear that helping animals with neurological disorders was his calling. Dr. Petesch went on to veterinary school at the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated summa cum laude. He continued his specialty training at UPenn, first with a rotating internship in medicine and surgery and then a residency program in neurology and neurosurgery.
After his residency, Dr. Petesch remained with UPenn’s Neurology Department for a few years as a clinical assistant professor, totaling more than a decade developing his skills in Philadelphia. Dr. Petesch loves all aspects of neurology, particularly the process of developing creative solutions to complex problems that work for both the patient and their family. He has a particular interest in the medical and surgical treatment of cancer of the nervous system. Outside of work, Dr. Petesch is an avid soccer fan. He loves cooking and, even more, eating delicious food with his wife and daughter.
