Dr. Lori Ferdock VMD
Dr. Ferdock graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Her love for the veterinary field started during her summers traveling to Lock Haven to help her uncle, a veterinarian. What she remembers most about those days was helping remove porcupine quills from dogs who had become a little too curious about the local wildlife. We would get to work pulling each quill from the sedated pet one by one. From that moment on, she was hooked. She had a deep desire to be a veterinarian.
Working for Dr. Lori Ferdock is a humbling experience. She is honored and privileged each day to be able to help people care for their pets. What she sees every day is the love we humans have for these creatures. She believes pets bring out the best aspects of us all.
“The absolute best thing about working for the Patt Veterinary Hospital is being able to help people care for their pets while working with passionate staff. When clients come to us with their sick or wounded pets, I do my best to help find answers. But I can only do what I do best because we have employees who love their jobs”
