VCA East Norriton Animal Hospital

Special Interests

In addition to normal dog and cat appointments, Dr Gellman also has a special interest in Exotic Pets and Behavioral Medicine

Behavior:
      
Illness doesn't always have a physical cause. Dr. Gellman  will work with you to determine the cause of disorders such as Separation Anxiety, Obsessive Behaviour, Aggression, Inappropriate Elimination, and many others. He will help you determine a treatment regimen to improve both you and your pet's life. Behaviour problems are the number one reason animals are given to shelters and we can work together to keep that from happening with your pet.
