David Hunley, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology)
Pronouns: he/him/his
Dr. David Hunley is a board-certified medical oncologist and inveterate dabbler who is immensely happy to join the wonderful Integrity team.
Dr. Hunley toiled away for several undergraduate years at North Carolina State University, dabbling in Mathematics, Japanese language, and pizza delivery before realizing that veterinary medicine was his true calling. In veterinary school at Louisiana State University, he dabbled a bit in raptor rehabilitation and zoo medicine before a cranky ostrich named Chester ran him (quite literally) out of the zoo for good. After a quick stint back at North Carolina State for his internship, he returned to Louisiana State to complete his oncology training. During those years of residency training, he dabbled in competitive eating (hot dog specialty) but soon realized this was a young person’s sport and directed his focus on medical oncology.
Dr. Hunley has now spent many years in the profession, as an assistant professor at Louisiana State, as the sole medical oncologist in Rhode Island (at Ocean State Veterinary Specialists, where he first met Dr. MaloneyHuss), and as the first full time specialist at Gold Coast Center for Veterinary Care on Long Island, where he still dabbles in various roles (seeing patients, mentoring, speaking at veterinary events, and teaching at Long Island University).
Dr. Hunley’s view on cancer treatment mirrors the patient-focused and team-based approach that Integrity Veterinary Center is known for. He is focused on helping to demonstrate this approach to the new generation of veterinarians, which is why he is so happy to be joining the Integrity team!
Outside of work, Dr. Hunley enjoys traveling, hiking, disc golf, college basketball, and continuing to look upon the world with wonder. He has a remarkable wife and two grown children (also remarkable!), as well as a persnickety cat (Oliver) and a quirky small dog (Finn), all of whom keep him on his toes.
