Philosophy and History

Olde Towne Animal Hospital was founded in 1965 by Drs. Charles Gould and Al Pontick. It was one of the first veterinary facilities on the east end and is still the largest.  Over the years the practice has grown considerably, we are now a practice of four veterinarians whose goal is to use a team approach to give your companion the best possible care.

The veterinarians and animal health technicians attend continuing education meetings annually to remain current on the newest information in our field.  In addition, the veterinarians are all members of the AVMA, the NYSVMA, the AAHA and the LIVMA.

Our ongoing mission is to maintain a high standard of excellence in medical, surgical and patient care.  We love pets and it shows in our compassion.
