The Most Common Questions Pet Parents Have… According to the National Media
When I began my veterinary career, I had no idea where it would take me. I simply wanted to impact animals for the better and envisioned — and then created — an animal hospital in my home town. But over the years, it has grown well beyond the geographic limits of Long Island. I wrote… [Read More]
Building Trust and Eliminating Suspicion as a Veterinarian
This past weekend, I posted a “public statement” about my own (lack of) involvement with Selmer’s Pet Land, a pet store owned and operated by some of my family. In it, I noted that after only a few months of seeing pet patients on site (much the way Banfield stores have set up shop… [Read More]
Brady Loves The Caring Vet
Brady, now an 11-year old Maltipoo, is best described as loyal, loving and caring. When we found him — as a puppy — he had the best temperament of the litter and was just the cutest.

Dog Friendly Long Island
While I’m proud to be one of only 32 Certified Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine Practitioners (CTCVMPs) in the United States, what I love MOST is serving the pets and pet parents in my home town of Long Island, New York. I truly can’t think of a better place to raise a dog (or two) and… [Read More]
The “Right” Time To Get a Second Dog
As you know, I love to be part of a family’s decision and the search for a new dog. In my book, I even recommend you visit your vet before getting a new pup. But, as I speak with my clients — many of whom have older or “senior” pets — many are asking that… [Read More]
