About Dr. Van den Berg

Dr. Sophie Van den Berg is a veterinarian with 9 years of mixed small and large animal practice in the Netherlands, and a graduate of Utrecht University’s internationally renowned Veterinary Medicine programme. She brings the unique perspective of a clinician who uses the same Littmann instruments as human medicine doctors — but in a completely different clinical world.

At Stethoscope24, Sophie writes about stethoscope choice and technique from the veterinary angle, helping vet students and practitioners make informed decisions about their most essential diagnostic tool — from puppy heart murmurs to equine cardiac assessment.
