Amy Stuart DVM
Owner
Amy was raised in a small town in northwestern Pennsylvania. From an early age, she was interested in large animals, feeding the local doctor’s pigs and cattle. Dreams came true at Christmas when she got her first horse. Never interested in another career, Amy attended college in North Carolina, earning a degree in Biology. The undergraduate program was unique and required a part-time job and community service during the school year. Amy worked for 4 years on the farm, spending a lot of time caring for pigs and cattle, as well as weedwhacking, maintaining fence lines, running machinery, and building barns. During this time, Amy met her husband, Julius. Amy graduated from the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2015. Afterwards, she accepted a position at Colorado State University and worked for the university for 5 years. Amy left the position at Colorado State to work for a dairy-exclusive practice in Colorado. As beautiful as Colorado is, Amy missed her family and the beautiful four seasons of the Northeast. She moved back in 2024 to partner with Dr. Joe and take over the practice.
As a veterinarian, Amy values being a partner in the care of your animals, increasing their quality of life and productivity. Amy values hard work, honesty, and having fun at work as frequently as possible! In her free time, Amy loves spending time with her dogs (Great Danes), being outdoors, Sabres hockey, and weight lifting.
Joe Tashjian DVM
Previous Owner
Joe grew up in Troy NY, and spent summers in Montana on his grandfather’s ranch where he first learned to care for animals as a young boy. It would grow into a lifelong passion, eventually leading to Cornell University where he would earn a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1984. He worked the next 10 years at a small private practice in Middlebury Vermont, before striking out on his own and purchasing Springville Veterinary Services. For three decades beginning in 1994, he ran the business with a hands-on, homestyle approach that hearkened back to the country veterinarians he knew as a child. His clients know him well because he gave personalized veterinary care to their animals for so many years.
