Hello to all of our wonderful clients,
It is with true sadness that I let you know I will be leaving the Kopec practice. My husband and I have not lived in the same state in 5 years and are finally able to be together as we have both (finally!) finished graduate school. However, this means I will be moving to North Carolina and no longer able to serve our clients and patients. This was my first job after graduating from vet school and I have learned so much, not only from the other doctors, technicians, and staff at Kopec, but also from all of you. You have truly provided me the best place to start my career and I cannot thank you enough for the kindness, understanding, and patience you have shown me. I have so loved getting to work with all of you and getting to know your horses. From the smallest mini to the largest draft, from vaccine visits to emergencies and everything in between, this practice and its clients have helped me grow so much. I wish everyone many long years with your four-legged friends and if I make it back to PA in the future, I’d love to have the honor of being their veterinarian again!
Thank you for everything, Dr. Kelly 🩷
