Dr. John O'Neill, has owned Adamstown Veterinary Hospital since June of 2004. Prior to joining AVH, he was a large animal veterinarian with special interest in dairy. He graduated from The Ohio State University in 1998. Dr. O'Neill's areas of special interest are dentistry, preventative care, root canals, oral/nasal surgery, general medicine, and the business side of veterinary medicine.
Outside the hospital, he enjoys spending time with my wonderful wife, Erin, and all his furry “kids”: Bronte, Brighton, Blitz, Brooke, Boeing, Cash and Maeve. Dr. O'Neill's hobbies include watching Buckeye football, competitive archery, being a member of local organizations, fishing and training/showing dogs with his wife.
Dr. Erin Murphy, owner of AVH, graduated from The Ohio State University of Veterinary Medicine in 1998, and joined the team at Adamstown Veterinary Hospital in 2004. Her areas of special interest are dermatology and internal medicine, as well as preventative care. Dr. Murphy believes in the philosophy of “How Can We Help You”. She utilizes her experience and client education to ultimately help clients choose the best options and treatment plans for their pets.
When not working, Dr. Murphy enjoys spending time with her husband and “fur children” (Bronte, Brighton, Blitz, Brooke, Boeing, Cash and Maeve). She travels often with her family to compete in conformation and working dog events and shows. When not traveling, she enjoys reading, fishing, and spending time with family and friends.
Dr. Jen Sutton graduated from Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine and was born and raised in Lancaster County, Pa. Even though four years were spent on the Virginia Tech campus, Dr. Sutton's football allegiance is to her undergraduate alma mater, Penn State. Her special areas of interest in veterinary medicine are preventative care, ultrasound and behavioral medicine.
Dr. Sutton enjoys any time spent with her favorite boys, Tucker (a Heinz ’57 variety special) and Buggins (a French Bulldog). Some of her other interests include hiking, running, and traveling.
Dr. Alyssa Savage graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in London, England with a degree in veterinary medicine and came back to her hometown in Lancaster County to serve her community. Her professional interests include delivering great preventive care and helping pets maintain a healthy weight. She also enjoys veterinary dentistry and educating pet owners on how to give their pets their best life.
She is the proud owner of a 2-year-old chihuahua mix named Hoagie. Dr. Savage enjoys traveling, cooking, and spending time with her loved ones. Dr. Savage is available for appointments now and is looking forward to meeting the extended Adamstown Veterinary Hospital family.
Dr. Slanga (Dr. Pat) has been practicing in the Berks and Lancaster County area since graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1994. She has a special interest in exotic and aquatic animal medicine and has trained at several zoos as well as the National Aquarium in Baltimore. (We tease that she will treat anything with a pulse-or a reasonable facsimile). She also has a strong interest in both soft-tissue and orthopedic surgeries, and has received extensive post-graduate training in both of these areas.
When she is not working, Dr. Pat likes to tend to her gardens, which includes a Japanese garden and pond maintained for the comfort and pleasure of her ducks, chickens, and koi. She also shares her life with many other animals including (but not limited to) cats, quail, pigeons, rodents and hermit crabs. Her heart, though, will always belong to her wee Scotsman (Scottish Terrier).
