Meet Your Anesthesiologist
DVM, DACVAA
Dr. Gaby Escalante is a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist whose career has been shaped by a deep commitment to patient safety and team education.
Trained at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and honed through a rotating internship at Lakeshore Veterinary Specialists in Milwaukee, she went on to complete a rigorous residency in anesthesia and pain management at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
As a supervising anesthesiologist with Premier Veterinary Group in Illinois, she discovered what drives her most: not just managing complex cases, but mentoring and empowering the teams around her to handle them with confidence.
That experience inspired her to found MACvet™, bringing advanced anesthesia expertise directly to the patients and the teams that need it most.
