With more than three decades of experience and deep roots in the Hudson Valley community, Dr. Stillman has cared for generations of pets and built lasting relationships with the families who trust VCA Flannery for their veterinary care. He believes the most meaningful medicine begins with listening, taking time to understand each pet’s situation, and helping clients feel confident in the decisions they make for their pet’s health.
“I treat every pet as if they were my own. When families trust you with someone they love, it’s a responsibility I take very seriously.”
Dr. Stillman earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989. After practicing for one year, he joined Flannery Animal Hospital in October 1990 and has been a dedicated member of the hospital team ever since.
