Our Team
Dr. Hannah Hottel
DVM, Owner
"I received my Veterinary Degree from Cornell university in 2010. After graduation, I practiced small animal and preventative medicine at Trumansburg Animal Hospital ARC for 6 years.
One of the areas I am most passionate about is exploring holistic treatment options, and I am pleased to be able to offer my clients herbal medicines and acupuncture therapies alongside Western medicine. I've been working with animals my entire life, growing up on and working on my family farm.
I guess you can never really take the farm out of the girl, as outside of work I live on our farm with my husband, Jason, our daughter, Reagan, and our beef cattle! When I'm not at the clinic, you can usually find me at home riding my horse, out riding my motorcycle, or up at our property on Cranberry Lake!"
Dr. Emily Duggan
DVM
"I have been a veterinarian since 2004, and you can usually find me in the clinic dancing around with a big smile! I think what I love most about my job is that I am blessed with the opportunity to protect the special bond between people and their animals. There is nothing better than being able to provide compassionate care and help pets stay happy, healthy, and with their families as long as possible. The love that develops between people and their pets is truly amazing, and I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of it!
When I am not at work, you can find me spinning on my hoop, running, teaching fitness classes, and staying active whenever possible. But most of all, I love spending time with my husband, our two children, and my home full of my favorite rescue pets."
Dr. Denise Firlik
DVM, Relief Veterinarian
"I received my degree from Cornell University in 1997. After graduation, I began my career as an equine veterinarian at a hospital in Maine before transitioning into small animal relief work, which I have continued to practice to this day. I have been working here at Home Veterinary Care since 2010!
I have always had a deep passion for horses and have loved working with them throughout my life. When I am not at work, you can find me at home with my husband, our cat Smores, and my horses, enjoying time in the pastures."
Jayne
Practice Manager
Kim
Inventory Manager
"I joined the team here in June of 2022! I originally joined the field back in 1998 as a Licensed Vet Tech, but have since taken a break. I've been happily married for 28 years, and I enjoy spending my spare time with my rescue dogs, Tucker and Nina, and my rescue cats - Midnight, Iris, Buddy, Harley and Gracie.
Fun fact about me: I'm a military veteran and proudly served 7 years in the U.S. Navy!"
Della
Lead Licensed Veterinary Technician
"I grew up in a small town on the edge of the Pennsylvania Wilds, and I feel most at home when I'm outdoors. I'm an avid black powder shooter, hunter, and colonial re-enactor, with a passion for primitive camping, drawing, and painting.
Outside of work, you'll usually find me enjoying a campfire, listening to spring peepers, admiring dandelions, or cooking and baking. I also love helping my family every spring with our maple syrup production. And, of course, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan!"
Amanda
Licensed Veterinary Technologist
"I have been a part of the team here since 2017, and I truly love what I do and take great pride in caring for my patients. I'm especially passionate about shelter medicine, rescue, and rehabilitation. I love working with animals who have had a difficult start and helping them heal, regain their confidence, and find their wat toward a better life. Being able to make a difference in the lives of animals who need it most is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I am passionate about creating a positive experience for both pets and their families and making a difference in their lives every day.
At home, life is full and lively with my husband, our son Forest, and our three dogs - Mauser, Remington, and Winchester. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family and making the most out of everything nature has to offer. I feel incredibly fortunate to have a career that I genuinely love, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to care for your pets as a part of the Home Veterinary Care family."
Ellen
Licensed Veterinary Technician
"I'm a local girl who has been working in veterinary medicine since 2015. I'm a graduate of Alfred State and have been a part of the clinic team since September 2022. You can usually find me in the clinic by my ever-changing hair and my love of making people laugh! I'm especially passionate about surgery and end-of-life care and love being able to make a difference for both pets and their families.
When I'm not working, you can find me watching horror movies or working on something creative. My family consists of my husband, our two sons, our dog Darla, and our Sphynx cats Riddick and Berlioz."

Shaylon
Receptionist/Assistant
"I have been working in veterinary medicine since 2018, but my love for animals started long before that. I have a special place in my heart for large-breed dogs and wildlife, and I love caring for animals while building relationships with the people who love them. I am currently continuing my education in Veterinary Technology at San Juan College, where I am working toward becoming a Licensed Veterinary Technician. Eventually, I hope to work as a traveling veterinary technician.
At home, my husband and I share our lives with two dogs, Bean and Karl, and two cats, Phoebe and Milo, who are very much part of our family.
Outside of veterinary medicine, you can usually find me kayaking, riding side-by-sides, getting lost in a good book, or watching a true crime documentary. I love spending time outdoors, learning new things, and - unsurprisingly - being surrounded by animals whenever possible."
Amanda W.
Receptionist/Assistant
"I have a background in psychology and educations but have always had a deep love for animals of all kinds. I live in Pine City with my husband and our two children, along with our chocolate lab, Goose, our cat, and our chickens.
In my spare time, I love spending time riding with my family, camping, riding side-by-sides, and watching movies. I am also a huge lover of Legos, puzzles and crime documentaries. Most of the time I enjoy making memories with my family and spending time with the animals that have always been such an important part of my life."
Michele
Receptionist
"I have worked in the veterinary field since 2003. I've been married to my loving husband for 23 years and am a proud mom to two beautiful daughters!
When I am not working, I enjoy volunteering, crafting, and herding cats! I'm always happiest when I'm helping others, creating something, or spending time with the people I love.
Fun fact about me: I'm also a licensed minister!"
Brittany
Receptionist
"I am passionate about animals and love being a part of a team that provides compassionate care and support to pets and their families. Animals have always been a big party of my life, and working in this career is especially meaningful to me!
Outside of work, I am the proud pet mom to my dog Remi, and my two cats, Blaise and Dottie. When I'm not spending time with my pets, I enjoy being outdoors and fishing with my boyfriend. Together we're excited to welcome the newest family member, a baby boy, this winter!"
Amanda F.
Receptionist/Assistant
"I began my veterinary career in 2008, working in animal shelters, where I quickly discovered my passion for helping animals and the people who care for them. In 2010, I officially began my career in veterinary medicine and have continued to grow and learn ever since. Outside of work, I’m a proud parent of three children and a devoted pet owner to two dogs, three cats, and six chickens—so animals are definitely a big part of my life both professionally and personally! When I’m not caring for patients, I enjoy spending quality time with my loved ones and making memories with the people and animals who mean the most to me. I’m grateful to have built a career doing something I truly love and feel fortunate to be able to make a difference in the lives of both pets and their families."
April
Receptionist
"I joined the team in April of 2022 and am the proud owner of 5 dogs, Dixie, Cruise, Lyric, Sailor and Summer!
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my son, Cadix, traveling, watching scary movies, and baking. One of my favorite things to do is bake and decorate sugar cookies! I also love interior design and getting creative with new ideas."
