Kathryn Elizabeth Kropp, VMD,
Dr. Kropp is a native of Tamaqua. 
She enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine but has a special interest in surgery and diagnostic ultrasound. Continuing education is a priority to Dr. Kropp, and she attends more than 30 credits of advanced learning annually. Her practice philosophy is that if she can't help your pet, she will help direct you to a specialist who can.
Outside of the hospital, Dr. Kropp resides with her husband Michael, son Peter, Jack Russell terrier Chip, Lab mixes Teddy and Joey, Bichon Mango and horses Impy, Duncan, Pancake and Caeser. She enjoys riding her horses, biking, reading, music, gardening and all outdoor activities.
Jennifer Ryscovyan
Jenn became a hospital team member in 2010 working as a veterinary assistant. She came to the hospital with no previous medical training but gained experience and knowledge very quickly. Jen is a big part of our behind the scenes work in surgery and nursing. She is also likely the person you will see if you schedule a tech appointment for certain vaccination boosters, laser therapy and bloodwork. When she is not working at the hospital, Jenn enjoys spending time with her husband Jimi, daughter Hannah, adorable poodle FiFi, pug mix Eloise, four cats and a variety of lizards.
Justin Moll
Justin has been working at the hospital as a General Assistant and Kennel Worker since 2008. He is always willing to lend a hand wherever he is needed and has been a great help to the hospital. Justin is a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan and loves to watch movies. Justin has an adorable terrier mix named Chloe.
Charlene Valentine
Charlene is our team leader in the reception area. You can always expect to be greeted with a friendly smile when she is working. She was a previous elementary school teacher, but she wasn't ready to retire so she came on board with us. Currently she has no pets and has to be satisfied with baby-sitting her granddogs, but we are trying to sweet talk her into having another dog of her own.
Michael McGinley
Mike has been a part of the hospital since it's first inception (as Dr. Kropp's husband, he had no choice.) He works primarily behind the scenes, helping wherever we need him. He also owns Town and Country Real Estate, LLC just a few doors down from the hospital. When not working he enjoys spending time with his family, vacationing at the shore, fishing, biking and outdoor activities
