Dr. Kathy Purcell

Dr. Karen Pittelli

Dr. Karen J. Pittelli joined the hospital in the latter half of 1990.  Her undergraduate degree was earned at Penn State, and then she went to the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine where she earned her Veterinary Degree.  Dr. Pittelli comes from Baltimore, Maryland.  One of the reasons that she chose our clinic is because of the size of our facility--she wanted to practice in a comfortable environment where you get to know the clients.  Dr. Pittelli also attends monthly meetings.  One of Dr. Pittelli’s lifelong hobbies is breeding, raising, and showing Shih Tzu’s.
