Location & Areas We Serve
History
I am a born and bred New Yorker and as a child always wanted a pet but unfortunately I had to defer that wish until I was an adult. My first career was as a lighting designer in the theatre and I fell in love with a Golden Retriever named Ginger who traveled with me while working in various cities. Ginger went everywhere with me and I would not accept a new job unless the new job also took Ginger. Ginger was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 1 year of age and started my interest in veterinary medicine. With the decision to go to veterinary school came a second Golden Retriever named Chelsea and both Ginger and Chelsea were my constant companions through veterinary school, my internship and my residency in internal medicine in NYC and my first job as a veterinarian.
After many years working as an associate veterinarian I made the decision to open my own practice. I had a strong desire to open a practice where the most important mission would be to create a community of patients and their owners that wanted and would receive excellent medical, surgical and dental care. Additionally, I wanted owners to always feel welcome and comfortable visiting the hospital and for their pets to feel secure and well cared for by a staff that loves animals and has made it their goal to provide exceptional care. An open hospital where owners would always be welcome to see what we do and if their pets were hospitalized, to visit at any hour of the day!
After several years open as Gotham Veterinary Center I pursued my interest in canine rehabilitation. I had been helped by a very talented physical therapist on several occasions and wanted to provide care beyond medications and rest for pets needing rehabilitation after orthopedic or neurologic surgery or for problems relating to mobility secondary to trauma or osteoarthritis. This pursuit led to my certification in canine rehabilitation by both the University of Tennessee and the Canine Rehabilitation Institute. Then in 2014 I opened Canine Rehab of New York. One of our first patients, Charlie, was unable to walk 3 weeks after his back surgery. His hind legs didn't move and he could not eliminate on his own. Charlie's owner had to leave town and left him with us for two weeks. We love Charlie and we worked with him every day. When his mother returned, Charlie went running up to her and it was an incredibly joyous moment for all of us! This was why I had opened Canine Rehab and why we are all veterinarians!
Gotham Veterinary Center opened 10 years ago and has fulfilled my dream of having an open hospital where patients come first and their owners are always welcome to visit and to ask questions whether this is their first pet or an aging member of their family. I have a veterinary staff that is compassionate and talented and I hope that you will read all about each of them and come to meet them with your cherished pet. While we of course care for patients that are ill, we strongly encourage preventive health care visits so that we may keep your pet by your side for as long as possible
