The Staff and Doctors of Cliffdale Animal Hospital

DEDICATED TO PROVIDING COMPASSIONATE PET CARE IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC

Dr. Angela Valenti

Member of AVMA and NCVMA, Dr. Valenti is a proud graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, class of ’79. After working as an associate veterinarian the first four years post graduation, she moved to Fayetteville. Here, she took on the responsibility of independently practicing as the managing veterinarian of a satellite practice.

In 1990, Dr Valenti opened her own practice, Cliffdale Animal Hospital. The practice thrived and subsequently outgrew its shopping center strip location. So in 2000, Dr Valenti designed and built the free standing facility where Cliffdale Animal Hospital now exists.

Dr. Valenti shares her home with several furry creatures that you may catch a glimpse of from time to time at our facility; her cat Ping Pong and  her 2 Norwich Terriers, Grand Finale and Opus. She is pictured here with Opus.

Dr. Christiansen

Member of AVMA, Dr. Christiansen graduated from Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014 (Go Cougs!). She then practiced small animal medicine in New Mexico, where she is originally from, for 2 years. Recently, she relocated to Fayetteville, NC where she has been an associate veterinarian with Cliffdale Animal Hospital since June 2016. Her passion in veterinary medicine includes surgery, dentistry, and the human-animal bond.

Dr. Christiansen is a proud Army wife to her husband Thomas. Together they have three fur babies, Domino the Lab/Border Collie Mix, Fancy the Pit/Hound Mix, and Lilly the Australian Shepherd.
