Andrea Oas
DVM
Dr. Andrea Oas joined the Rainier Veterinary Hospital team in 2023 after having spent several years working as a small practice general practitioner at hospitals in the greater Seattle area. During this time, she had the opportunity to fine-tune her surgical and dentistry skills while also providing mentorship to her larger medical support team. Now at Rainier Veterinary Hospital, Dr. Oas is focusing on expanding our surgery practice while continuing to share her skills and dedication with our team and the larger community we serve.
“I found some paperwork from the 3rd grade where there was a question that asked what I wanted to be when I grew up,” shared Dr. Oas. “I wrote – a vet! I feel like I was destined to be in this field where I could help the animals that bring us all so much joy and love. I honestly can’t imagine myself doing anything else.”

Volunteer Work
It is important to note that Dr. Oas has spent a great deal of time “giving back” to pets and the underserved communities in need. This is reflected in her work with World Vets in Nicaragua as well as her work with Old Dog Haven, Must Luv Boxers Rescue and the Seattle Humane.
Home Life
Dr. Oas shares her home with a literal pack of French Bulldogs (Nizmo, Jazzie, Lilah, Diddy, Bruno and Lilly) and her two Pygmy Goats, Evie and Ellie. When not enjoying and corralling her extended pet family, Dr. Oas enjoys hiking, traveling and spending time playing cards and board games with family and friends.
