As a lifetime member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Maryland Veterinary Medical Association, and the D.C. Academy of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Youssef enjoys every aspect of Veterinary Medicine. However, he holds a special interest in internal medicine, surgery and geriatric medicine.

He and his wife Mary, share three amazing “two-legged” children; Yostina, his oldest daughter and his two sons Mark and Mathew. They are also the proud parents of two “four-legged” children; Nemo the Maine Coon Cat and Daisy the West Highland Terrier.

Dr. Youssef is now proud to announce his newest title as the owner of Frederick Veterinary Center. He is not only excited, but he is committed to leading his new found home and becoming a part of the Frederick community. With a big heart to help and donate his time, Dr. Youssef enjoys performing surgeries for rescues and shelters – from the Animal Welfare Society of Howard County to BARCS at Small Animal Miracles. He plans to continue this passion in Frederick County.

When he is not working, Ricky enjoys spending time with his family and his big church community, which is located near Frederick. While his family began to search for their forever home closer to Frederick area church, he fell in love with Frederick Veterinary Center after getting to know Dr. Flynn.
Ricky also loves spending his free time playing table tennis and soccer. He often travels to watch his favorite team in the premier league, and loves both watching and coaching his two sons,’ Mark and Matthew, in their soccer league.
