Bridget Behan, Reception
Allison Miller, Reception
My name is Allison. I was born and raised here in East Hampton. Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I really enjoy working at the clinic because the doctors and my coworkers are as equally in love with animals as I am and they are truly compassionate people. It's so rewarding to be a member of the clinics staff. Whether it's just petting a silly dog on the head while it's waiting to be seen or being able to support a patients family during an emotional time, rest assured our staff pours 100% heart into everything we do. When I am not at work I am at home with my husband and our family of 10 animals. All of which are rescued. Roscoe, Ding, Igor and Titi are our 4 dogs and Norman, Colby Jack, Dooda, Tinka, Smith and Wesson are our 6 cats. They keep us very, very busy.
Julie Kelley, Head Licensed Veterinary Technician
I have been a practicing Licensed Veterinary Technician since 1980 and have been with the hospital since September 2001. My special interests are Anesthesia, Surgical Nursing, Pharmacology and Equine Sports medicine. My human family is Craig and a teenage daughter named Erin. My animal family consits of three dogs : Otis - a Jack Russel, Koda - a Corgi, and Petey - a Flat coat Retriever, 2 cats Gus and Gizmo, a cocketiel named "The Dude", and my horse Wizard of Warwick. Wizard and I have had a separate career together competing in Dressage. We have many Long Island Year End Championships and competed at the regional level at FEI. We are currently working at the Grand Prix level. When I am not working you can find me riding my horse, boating and fishing, enjoying the beach or gardening, and hibernating in the winter!
Barbara Grimes, Licensed Veterinary Technician
I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been working at the clinic since 2003. Aside from my two human children I live with 2 Jack Russels, a Labrador, a cat, a bunny and my horse, Ben. When I am not working, I can be found hiking with the dogs, trail riding with Ben, volunteering with the Wildlife Rescue Center, skiing or flying! (I just recently passed my private pilot's exam!)

Paula Stancampiano, Veterinary Assistant
I have been working at the clinic since 2007 as a vet assistant. I went to school upstate at SUNY Cobleskill, where I played volleyball for 2 years. I am originaly from Wading River which is about 45 minutes west of here. I moved to East Hampton in December of 2006 to live with my fiance Andy. We have 2 dogs, Ruby (mini dachshund) and Toby (Boston Terrier). I love animals and am glad to be working in such a great environment. When I am not at work you can find me relaxing at home with my dogs, or sitting at a softball/baseball game watching my fiance play.
Ashley Danowski, Veterinary Assistant
I am currently attending the University of Connecticut with a double major in Animal Science and Pathobiology with plans to attend Veterinary school after. I love all fields of veterinary medicine, but especially enjoy working with companion animals, marine mammals, and cattle. I started working the the Vet Clinic in the Summer 2008 while home from school and cant get enough of it! Unfortunately I can work only during my school breaks...My animal family consists of Simba(cat), Telle, Bandit, and Coady (dogs) and I currently foster a blind diabetic dog named Higgins.
Caitlin Renna, Veterinary Assistant
I am a senior at Delaware Valley College studying Conservation and Wildlife Management. I hope to become a veterinarian and working at the clinic has only solidified that dream. I started working at the clinic the summer of 2007 and have loved every minute of it. I hope to one day specialize in exotics or wildlife. My fondness for wildlife was fostered during the many years that I worked/volunteered for the Wildlife Rescue Center. I grew up in Westbury (nassau county) but have spent every summer in Sag Harbor with my grandparents since I was 7. My animal family currently includes a baby ball python Aurora a standard poodle Misha and at the moment, my roommate's chow-mix Nosey Bear.

Walter, House Cat
My name is Walter, I joined the Vet Clinic in June of 2005. I ended up here after my owner could not take care of me anymore. I had urinary issues but am now doing great here at the clinic. I love to eat anything I can get, but my friends at the clinic have me on a strict diet. When I'm not hard at work begging for food you can find me sleeping in my bed.
Dutch, House Cat
I came to the Vet Clinic in 2006 when I was hit by a car in front of the Dutch Motel. Some nice samaritans picked me up and brought me here. I had a broken jaw and head trauma. I used to be a feral cat but now I am very comfortable around humans and love to cuddle. I really like to play with the orphan kittens that come here, they make really good sleeping partners. When I am not taking care of the kittens I like to run around and be chased by people and other animals.
