Dr. Kenneth D. Fischer
Veterinarian |
Dr. Kenneth D. Fischer earned his Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1991. Upon graduation, he completed a rotating internship in medicine and surgery at Oradell Animal Hospital, a renowned specialty referral practice in Oradell, NJ. In 1996 he took over the reins of Hillsdale Animal Hospital and began to specialize in complementary and alternative veterinary medicine (CAVM). After completing courses in animal chiropractic and veterinary acupuncture during 1997-1998, Dr. Fischer obtained certification by meeting stringent requirements in these specialty areas from the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) and the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS). Herbal medicine was next on the CAVM agenda, and upon completion of a course in Chinese Herbology in 2002, he received certification from the Healing Oasis Wellness Center in Sturtevant, Wisconsin. Currently, Dr. Fischer continues his studies in these areas as well as having developed a strong interest in nutrition and nutritional medicine. ^back to top^ |

Bobbie
Office Manager |
Bobbie joined the team as Office Manager in January of 2006; however, her association with HAH began several years prior to that when she came to Dr. Fischer seeking care for one of her Golden Retrievers. That experience was so positive that when the position at HAH became available, it seemed like a natural progression for her to engage in something that would enable her to focus on her passion for animals.
Since the late 1990s, Bobbie has been active in Golden Retriever rescue and, in addition to providing a "forever home" to the many wonderful Goldens who have joined her family over the years, she continues to volunteer with the Long Island Golden Retriever Rescue.
Bobbie has her undergraduate degree in Business from Marymount College and her Masters in Public Administration from Long Island University. In her spare time, she thoroughly enjoys reading, knitting and crocheting, cooking, spending time at the beach with good friends and, of course, spending time with her Goldens. ^back to top^ |

Sue
Clinical Assistant
|
Sue is a registered nurse who decided to trade her two-legged patients for four-legged ones and join the HAH family in January of 2006. Prior to that, she worked in the field of forensics and child abuse and was also an educator. Like so many other HAH staff members, Sue was a client first when she recognized the desire to combine her love for animals with her passion for helping others. The rest, as they say, is history! She feels very fortunate to be able to do what she loves in a healing environment like HAH.
Sue has her undergraduate degree in accounting from Montclair State College, a nursing degree from Bergen Community College, and a master's degree in nursing from St. Peter's College. She is an advocate for animal rescue and has been involved in Golden Retriever rescue since 2000. As a matter of fact, she has her very own gang of rescued Goldens!
Sue's favorite pastimes include all sports – most especially baseball – and she is a diehard Mets fan. She also enjoys reading medical mystery novels, digital photography, and, of course, spending time with her gorgeous Goldens. ^back to top^ |

Brianne
Receptionist |
Brianne joined the HAH family in the fall of 2006 while completing her college education. After many years working in customer service positions, Brianne decided to follow her heart and find a job where she could combine her business skills with her deep love for animals, and found her home with the Hillsdale Animal Hospital family.
Brianne is currently a full time teacher, but her love for furry friends and her extended family at HAH brings her back to the hospital during summer vacation and other school holidays. Brianne enjoys spending time with her rescued pup, Jovi, and her four legged nieces Luna and Layla. When not chasing around kids or creatures Brianne can usually be found reading, watching Law and Order marathons, or enjoying the great outdoors. ^back to top^ |
