This passion took her through to her clinical training year at the University of Georgia, and a rigorous rotating medicine and surgery internship at BluePearl. Her senior clinician was none other than future VEG CEO & Founder David Bessler! Dr. Germain joined VEG in 2015 and has never looked back. She moved to Maryland to open VEG’s Georgetown DC location in 2021 and opened VEG Pikesville.
