Dr. Lee Spector was born in Seattle, Washington, and raised in St. Louis, Singapore and New York City. His childhood dream to become a veterinarian came to fruition when he received his veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1976. Four years later, Dr. Spector met a woman who was to become his wife and veterinary partner, Bernadette at a dance party. A year later they were working together at Rothman Animal Hospital in Collingswood, and have continued to work and dance together ever since. In 1986 they opened Gray Fox Animal Hospital, LLC.
Dr. Spector enjoys all aspects of his chosen profession, but most especially, performing surgery. He enjoys the teamwork with his incredibly diligent and brilliant surgical staff. Gray Fox had become known for working with Bulldogs and French Bulldogs, largely because of his team’s expertise with difficult anesthetic cases.
Outside of practice, Dr. Spector has devoted most of his energies to running and swimming. His knees are showing some age, so the running has slowed a bit. But he still competes in road races. He enjoys dancing in the Latin and Ballroom styles with his wife, Bernadette. He also enjoys practicing agility with his toy poodle, AJ.
