Meet the Doctors at Hickory

Our Doctors

I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Celano. Her kindness and compassion upon our first meeting was so reassuring, and her knowledge and diagnosis was so comforting.

Audrey R.

Just had a wonderful visit with Dr Celano! Our pup loves her gentle techniques. All staff lovely and helpful. Grateful to have a Saturday appointment for an unexpected issue.

R.B.

We’re so happy to have our pets cared for by this practice and have recommended them to everyone that we know!

Liz P.

Definitely my new vet! Treated my cat newly adopted cat amazingly, and were very patient with answering all of my questions and explaining things to me.

Connor H.

Recently moved to the Ambler area and needed to establish new vet for our two dogs. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. By far one of the best experiences we’ve had with a veterinary team!

Maryellen B.

I’ve tried multiple vets in the area for my senior dog—this is where we’re staying! Flexible scheduling, clean, no wait times—and, yes, they answer the phones!
