Dr. "Rafe" Knox joined Smoketown Veterinary Hospital in 1998 and became a board-certified radiologist in 2004.  He is recognized by the American College of Veterinary Radiology (ACVR).  The ACVR requires veterinarians who wish to become specialists to complete a three-year residency and pass a difficult written and oral examination.

Dr. Knox really likes the staff at Smoketown.  He says they are friendly, compassionate, and dedicated.  He also likes that his job is close to home, since he spent several years commuting to and from Maryland.

At our hospital, Dr. Knox is responsible for diagnostic ultrasounds.  He also consults with our other doctors using images obtained by our digital radiology system.

Rafe is married to Lisa Knox, also a veterinarian at Smoketown.  They have two children, named Sarah and Will, and two pet cats, named Elmo and Kit-Kit.  In his free time, Rafe enjoys listening to classical and rock music.  He also completed four triathlons in 2006!
