Dr. Bianca Shaw
DVM, Hospital Director, & Therapist
Dr. Bianca Shaw (she/her) has over 20 years of rehab experience and a proven track record in traditional veterinary medicine and animal physical medicine. She received her DVM degree from the University of Minnesota and has attended most of the animal rehabilitation programs across the country including the University of Tennessee, the Canine Rehab Institute, the Integrative Veterinary Medicine Institute (Chi University), VOSM, STAAR educational programs, and others. As the first veterinary therapist in the Portland/Vancouver area, Dr. Shaw's experience with pet rehabilitation therapy and rehab patients is unsurpassed. Prior to starting Back on Track Veterinary Rehabilitation Center, Dr. Shaw worked throughout the Pacific Northwest as a general practitioner and relief veterinarian.
Her drive to develop a comprehensive therapy center was sparked after her dog, Boz, needed extensive orthopedic repair due to a car accident. Having no place to rehabilitate him and no person to give her instruction on how to perform specific rehab herself, Dr. Shaw recognized a lack of expertise and a greatly unmet need in the community. As a result, she has spent years training to fill this void, keeping up with new therapies and has now treated thousands of patients with every sort of different mobility issue.
Dr. Shaw has been active in numerous groups across the nation and has participated in many physical rehabilitation seminars in an effort to obtain the best and most current information available on animal rehabilitation. She has been a guest speaker at dog clubs and veterinary association meetings.
She has been active in the Portland Veterinary Medical Association having served as Treasurer and Board member. Her community commitments have included: aiding in the development of an emergency animal disaster plan for Portland and the surrounding areas; Oregon Humane Society disaster and animal rescue programs; Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon clinics; PAWS homeless pet clinic, and the American Red Cross.
