Veterinarians

Dr. Bonnie Brown, VMD, CCRP, CCRT (Founder & Veterinarian)

A born and bred New Yorker, Dr. Brown, VMD, CCRP, CCRT, has been a practicing veterinarian for over 25 years. She received her undergraduate degree from Cornell University and graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine receiving the J.B. Lippincott Prize for the highest general average and the 1956 Class Medal for Achievement in Pathology, among other honors. Like many animal lovers, Bonnie had to defer her wish to have a pet of her own until she was an adult. While working in theater as a lighting designer, Bonnie fell in love with a Golden Retriever named Ginger. Her four-legged companion became such an influential part of her life that she wouldn’t take a new job unless the new job took Ginger. Having her dog accompany her to work wasn’t enough, however, and before long, Bonnie made the decision to become a veterinarian. Bonnie completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery as well as a residency in internal medicine at the Animal Medical Center on Manhattan’s East Side. Following her residency, she served as the Medical Director of the Alex Lewyt Veterinary Medical Center at North Shore Animal League from 1993 to 1999. There she oversaw a staff of 15 doctors and was a member of the senior executive group responsible for the overall direction and mission fulfillment of the NSAL. From 1999 to 2004, Bonnie was a surgeon for the Fund for Animals’ Have-A-Heart Spay and Neuter Clinic. She continued to work in private practice during that time, initially at Animal General. In 2001, she was appointed Chief of Staff at Ansonia Veterinary Center, where she served for five years. Bonnie then started her own practice, Gotham Veterinary Center, which she operated from within City Veterinary Care. During this early incarnation of Gotham, Bonnie provided care to her own patients while designing and building a new home for her practice. She opened the doors of Gotham Veterinary Center on November 11, 2009, welcoming new and continuing clients and their pets. Bonnie is certified in canine rehabilitation through both the University of Tennessee and the Canine Rehabilitation Institute. Bonnie opened Canine Rehab of NY in 2014 and lives in Manhattan with her dog Ted and has two wonderful sons, David and Steven.

Dr. Norma Bryant, DVM

Dr. Norma Bryant is a native Texan and spent her childhood in the south Texas town of Weslaco. Dr. Bryant’s passion for animals has been constant throughout her life, having made the decision to pursue veterinary medicine at the tender age of four. She attended Texas A&M University for her undergraduate studies and the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine thereafter, graduating with honors in 2001.

Dr.Bryant worked as an associate at a busy, multi-doctor small animal practice in Houston for several years before opening her own practice in Katy, Texas. She ran a successful companion animal practice for over 14 years before making the move to NYC.

She and her husband, Philip, currently have one cat, but look forward to adopting a dog soon. When not practicing veterinary medicine, Dr. Bryant enjoys exploring the city, exercising, and spending time with family and friends.

“My primary focus is patient care. I treat each pet the way I would want my own pet cared for, either using my knowledge and experience, or that of my esteemed colleagues in their specialties. I also believe strongly in building trusting relationships with pet owners and working together to provide what’s best for their pet. The patient’s well-being and the comfort their family has with their care are what matter at the end of the day.”

Dr. Jane Kosovsky, DVM (Mobile Surgeon: Orthopedic & Advanced Soft Tissue Surgery)

Dr. Jane Kosovsky is an experienced mobile surgeon specializing in orthopedic and advanced soft tissue surgery. She graduated from The Ohio State University Veterinary School and completed her veterinary internship and surgical residency at the Animal Medical Center in New York City.

She was inspired by her childhood pets to become a veterinarian. Jane currently has a Belgian Tervuren named, Cedar.

Dr. Zachary Carroll, DVM

Dr. Zachary Carroll, DVM, is a New York native and a veterinarian by nature. His love of and desire to care for animals have been driving forces throughout his academic and professional career.

Dr. Carroll attended Lehigh University for his undergraduate studies, where he pursued a degree in biology, and was published in several scientific journals for his research relating to endangered fish populations in west Texas. Most importantly, however, Dr. Carroll graduated from Lehigh with his Himalayan-mix, Stella, whom he adopted after noticing her frequent visits to his backyard.

Returning to New York after college, Dr. Carroll spent two years working as a veterinary assistant, which solidified his resolve to become a veterinarian. Dr. Carroll received his degree in veterinary medicine from the Ohio State University Veterinary School, graduating with Honors in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine. While at Ohio State, Dr. Carroll also adopted Mindy, a loving Retriever-Australian Shepherd mix, and Noelle, a Tabby who was left at the hospital with a severe eye infection. Following veterinary school, he completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Oregon State University.

Outside of work, Dr. Carroll enjoys hiking (especially with Mindy), exercising, and distracting himself with a great movie. When the weather permits, Dr. Carroll can often be spotted playing softball in Central Park.
