Erin Simmonds, DVM

"My favorite part of being a veterinarian is experiencing

the strength of the human-animal bond between clients

and their four-legged friends."

After accomplishing the long drive

in June 2007 from British Columbia,

Canada to Pennsylvania, Dr. Simmonds

now resides with her two Border Collies

(Kipp and Mazy), her Irish Setter (Cyder),

and her cat (Trebble). She enjoys hiking

with the dogs or participating in dog sports

such as agility, fly ball, and obedience. Her

other interests include rock climbing, 

backpacking, and skiing.
