​Dr. Mark Paradise is co-owner of NorthPaws Veterinary Center and has cared for pets here as a general practitioner since 2004 when the hospital first opened its doors as a companion animal practice. During his early years Dr. Paradise entertained many other career paths but eventually settled on what he always intended: a career in veterinary medicine. A native of New Jersey, Dr. Paradise earned his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1999, afterward completing an internship at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston.
