Skilled and Knowledgeable Veterinary Staff

Let us introduce our team of efficient and professional staff at East Springfield Veterinary Hospital. Being practitioners of progressive medicine, we use state-of-the-art medical treatments and equipment for all pet patients. The pets seem to like them, too!

Amy Zander, Hospital Administrator

Amy has been managing East Springfield Veterinary Hospital since 1999. Although her career did not start in the veterinary community, she grew up in this wonderful, giving environment. Her father was Dr. Richard Hersman and she was joined by her brother, Dr. Andrew Hersman, in 2005.

She graduated from Lafayette College with a BA in International Affairs. She went on to pursue her graduate degree at Central Connecticut State University, where she earned her Masters of Science in Organizational Communication. Although she loves the animals that she meets every day, she focuses on the people that bring their beloved pets to East Springfield Animal Hospital!

Johannah McCarthy, Surgery Department Manager

Johannah has been instrumental in our company for so many years. Johannah has earned the role as our Surgery Department Manager for both our hospitals! She is supportive of our clients and her teammates. She is a huge part of these hospitals. We wouldn’t be where we are today without her! In her free time, Johannah enjoys knitting and crocheting and is a movie/television fanatic. Her favorite part about working at ESVH is seeing how appreciative clients are when they leave the hospital. The team and clients appreciate all that you do, Johannah!

Certified Veterinary Technician

A life so young
Has now been freed.
Courageous yet kind
Patient and compassionate
A “thousand watt” smile
Composed
Wise beyond her years
Sweet, comforting, cheerful
Intelligent; eager to learn
A little sass!
Illuminating, radiant
Emma, We love you!
