About Me

Dr. John Litterine-Kaufman (or Dr. “LK”) is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 2013. He completed a general internship at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston in 2014, followed by a surgical specialty internship at Aspen Meadow Veterinary Specialists in 2015. He then return to Boston for his surgical residency at Angell. He graduated his residency in 2018, and was boarded the following year. He has been working as a surgeon in Richmond, Virginia, and has now happily returned to Philadelphia.

Dr. Litterine-Kaufman joined MVA in 2022, and is excited to help provide a wide range of surgical services. He has a special interest in minimally invasive surgery, but enjoys being in the OR with a wide variety of orthopedic, neurologic, and soft tissue cases.

When not at work, Dr. Litterine-Kaufman enjoys reading, baking, and exploring Philadelphia with his wife and son, as well as relaxing at home with his two cats (Freya and David Vincent) and his shih tzu (Tormund).
