THE DERRY ANIMAL HOSPITAL TEAM

We are a group of people who not only love to help people and animals, … we just plain LOVE ANIMALS!

Our compassionate approach to care means we want the best for both you and your pet. The entire pet care team will make you feel at home.

DAVID- Veterinary Assistant

David is a life-long animal lover and currently helps with all sorts of things around the clinic from patient care to construction and maintenance.  He moved to the US from Inverness, Scotland in 2012 . David enjoys being a great dad and husband, playing guitar, shooting and customizing firearms, cooking (he’s secretly an amateur master chef!), and pretty much anything involving the outdoors.


STEPHENIE- Veterinary Assistant

Stephenie has worked with animals as a veterinary assistant for the past 23 years. Her passion has been cats of all types ever since she got her first 2 cats when she was 4 years old. Stephenie has a menagerie of 8 lovely cats at home….and one Labrador to even things out! Steph enjoys spending time and enjoying all types of adventures with her husband and two twin girls (the most wild ones in the crew!). We welcome Stephenie to the Derry Animal Hospital team and are excited to have her skills and experience!


CAROLYN- Hospital Assistant / Facilities Management

Carolyn became interested in veterinary medicine after caring her for own daschund with paralysis from intervertebral disk disease. She was inspired to complete a veterinary assistant certification and now plays a critical role in hospital care and maintenance. She also helps upkeep the equipment and supplies that allow us to provide the services and care we do as a veterinary team. This is a second career for Carolyn and we are excited to have her on the team!


CHRISTINA- Veterinary Assistant and Client Service Liason

Christina has been working in the veterinary industry for 4 years. Though she started in reception, she has recently begun cross-training with the medical team to be a part of the entire care process here at the clinic. She has a big soft spot for senior dogs and any pet with wrinkles. In her free time, you can find Christina spicing it up at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair selling corsets and other fun wares! We are excited to have Christina as part of the team at Derry Animal Hospital!


AVERY- Veterinary Assistant

Avery began at Derry Animal Hospital as a student completing a veterinary assistant program. We were glad Avery has decided to come on board as an official team member! Avery looks forward to working with the many different animals we see at the practice and continuing to learn what veterinary medicine is all about!


DANIELLE- Client Service Liaison

Danielle is new to the veterinary industry, but has been a lifetime lover of puppies of all ages and sizes. She is excited to be here at Derry Animal Hospital pursing a new and exciting way to continue what she does best- helping people! In her free time Danielle can be found volunteering in the community and spending time adventuring with her nephew and dog.


HELENE- Client Service Liaison

Helene has recently retired and is now joining her daughter’s veterinary practice as a client service liaison. She’s very excited to be a part of the dream she helped make a reality! When she is not at Derry Animal Hospital, Helene can be found riding and working with her beautiful Kiger mustang horse Daisy, being walked by her handsome Newfie Hamilton, and spending time with any of her 8 wonderful grandchildren!



RONAH-Clinic Mascot / The “Real” Boss

Ronah enjoys climbing trees in her spare time while on the hunt for squirrels (it’s ok…she never catches them)…check her out on the photos page!


Our Approach

We believe pet owners should be empowered to be part of the active decision making process when it comes to their loved one’s care. We strive to be sure you have all the information you need to make informed decisions and to feel comfortable with all aspects of the medical plan. Customer service is at the forefront of what drives us in our day to day interactions with the families we work with at Derry Animal Hospital.

A Dream Come True

“It’s always been my dream to have a veterinary practice and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to carry on a legacy of care at Derry Animal Hospital and to take the clinic to the next level.”
