Dr. Erica is a compassionate and dedicated veterinarian with a diverse and impressive career that spans many aspects of animal care. Born in the suburbs of Chicago and raised in Florida, she has lived across the United States, yet Florida remains her home. From a young age, Dr. Erica knew she wanted to be a veterinarian, though her journey to veterinary medicine was anything but conventional.
Her professional path began straight out of high school when she worked as an EMT, gaining invaluable experience in emergency medical services with fire departments, ambulances, and human emergency rooms. Dr. Erica also pursued a massage therapy degree, expanding her technical knowledge and skill set.
Dr. Erica earned her veterinary degree from Mississippi State University in 2017, and her passion for animal welfare and shelter medicine led her to specialize in high-quality, high-volume sterilization. She travels overseas to participate in spay-neuter events and offers lectures at local veterinary schools. She also earned a master’s degree in Shelter Medicine from the University of Florida. Throughout her career, she has worked in a variety of veterinary settings, from private practice to emergency care, academia, and shelter medicine. Her work in this area, particularly in end-of-life care, has greatly influenced her approach to helping families through very delicate times.
Outside of work, Dr. Erica is a devoted animal lover and the proud mom of six rescue cats. She would be honored to help clients and their pets in the comfort of their homes.
Dr. Heba Kashkosh brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for pets and their families to our practice. Her journey began with a love for animals nurtured by her family pets. Graduating from the School of Veterinary Medicine CU in 2006, Dr. Heba furthered her education with a Post Graduate Diploma in Gynecology & Obstetrics of farm and small animals in 2008. Her dedication to veterinary excellence continued as she completed the Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates and passed her board exams in the United States in 2015.
With years in general practice, Dr. Heba gained invaluable insights into the challenges faced by animals with incurable diseases and those nearing the end of life. In 2019, her commitment to compassionate care led her to become one of the few Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Veterinarians in Pennsylvania. Additionally, she is Low Stress Handling® Certified, ensuring that each interaction with your pet is as calm and comforting as possible.
Dr. Heba finds deep purpose and fulfillment in supporting pets and their families.
