The East Meadow Veterinary Clinic, the most recent edition to our practice group, can trace it’s roots back to Bayside circa 1939. That year saw the opening of the North Shore Animal Hospital by Dr. Robert Ferber shortly after his graduation from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. The practice was one of only a few companion animal hospitals in the area of northeastern Queens. After only a few years in operation “Dr. Robert” had to close the doors temporarily in order to serve in the Army Veterinary Corps during the second world war. After his discharge, he and his brother Dr. Leonard, also a Cornell graduate and service veteran re-opened the practice at a new location in Bayside. In 1970 after graduation from Cornell, Dr. Alan Ferber joined in the family practice and served as it’s director until his retirement in 2003. In 1996 Dr. Michael Ferber, also a Cornell graduate, continued the tradition at the North Shore Animal Hospital. In 1999 Dr. Robert Foley, a close friend of Dr. Michael’s from their undergraduate and veterinary college days, joined the practice. Dr. Ronald Rosen is the current director of the North Shore Animal Hospital.
A few years later the practice expanded to the Bellmore area with The East Meadow Veterinary Group. In 2009 the Bellmore practice expanded into it’s new, state-of-the-art facility, providing veterinary care of the highest caliber to the south shore of Nassau county. Dr. Foley serves as it’s full-time director.
The East Meadow Veterinary Clinic will function as a satellite facility to the East Meadow Veterinary Group, with Dr. Michael Ferber serving as it’s sole clinician. In this practice we seek to provide the highest quality, family oriented veterinary care to our patients and their families.
