Nicole Cerniello, DVM, Medical Director
Dr. Cerniello was born in the nearby town of Dix Hills, NY. After attending veterinary school at Ross University and completing her clinical studies at Louisiana State University, she returned to New York where she spent two years practicing at an animal shelter before coming to Greenwich Village. Her special interests include dentistry, soft tissue surgery and emergency medicine. She has two cats, Pebbles and Mowgli. In her free time, she likes to do yoga before indulging in her guilty pleasure (watching The Bachelor) and enjoying all the food New York has to offer.
Chris Anderson, DVM
Dr. Chris Anderson grew up in and around Roswell, New Mexico. He went to Dartmouth College for his undergraduate education, then Colorado State University for Veterinary School. He’s practiced large and small animal medicine in his career. Most recently, Dr. Anderson practiced in Santa Fe, NM, where he spent twelve years at an AAHA-accredited small animal practice – before taking the Medical Director position at Eldorado Animal Clinic the last two years. After first benefiting from and then participating in mentorship in practice, he has come to enjoy working up cases in a cooperative environment and being part of great veterinary teams. He’s excited to be a part of GVAH! When not in the clinic, Chris can be found on poorly-planned and sometimes ill-fated adventures with his children or lunching and scheming with his beautiful, patient wife. He enjoys fishing, skiing, and writing. Moving to New York this year is a real leap of faith for his family, who are used to navigating New Mexico wildernesses, but have signed up for a new adventure in this urban one.
Tracy Sane, DVM
As of mid-September 2021, Dr. Sane’s services will be limited to performing surgery two days a week. A native of Tennessee, he grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, which sparked his interest in the veterinary field. He graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989. Dr. Sane has a special interest in surgery, i.e. orthopedic, soft tissue and laser surgery. In his free time, he enjoys reading, cooking, painting and drawing.
