History
Dr. Donald Theodorsen opened the East Rockaway Veterinary Hospital in 1980. Bringing his vast knowledge he learned at The Animal Medical Center in Manhattan. After many years of service to the five towns community in 2005 he decided to retire and the hospital then advanced to its next stage. Dr. Richard Selkowitz DVM took over the helm. Dr. Selkowitz had spent the previous 10 years practicing medicine at some of the most advanced veterinary hospitals on Long Island including LIVS, The Center for Specialized Veterinary Care, and the Nassau Animal Emergency Hospital.
