Teresa
Conway, DVM
Pixie and Hobo
Stinky |
Dr. Teresa Conway likes to consider herself a
native Hawaiian. She was born on the beautiful island of Oahu
while her parents were stationed there. Unfortunately the Air
Force sent the family back to the mainland shortly
thereafter. She actually grew up in Alabama, Virginia, Texas,
upstate New York, and Massachusetts. In 1987 she was the
valedictorian at Westford Academy. From there, she went to the
University of Massachusetts at Amherst as an Animal Science major.
She graduated summa cum laude and a Commonwealth Scholar in
1991. In 1995 she obtained her DVM from the College of
Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University.
While at Cornell University, Teresa dabbled
with the idea of being a mixed (both large and small) animal
practitioner. She was on the Colic Crew, the Equine Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit, as well as a member of the feline club (felis
medicus) and co-founder of the canine club. Winters in upstate
New York convinced her that working indoors with small animals was
the way to go. After graduation, Dr. Conway worked for two
years in a suburb of Buffalo, NY, and one year in Matawan, NJ,
before joining the team at Brick Town Veterinary Hospital in
1998. Her veterinary interests include ultrasound (both
abdominal and echocardiograms), dermatology, behavior, and the
occasional pocket pet/exotic. She also appeared in the video
“Dr. Kellon’s Guide to First Aid for Horses”, has peer reviewed the
second edition of the book by the same title, and periodically
teaches introductory biology classes at Monmouth
University. She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical
Association, the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association, the
Jersey Shore Veterinary Medical Association, and the Cornell Feline
Health Center.
When she’s away from work, Teresa enjoys
spending time with her husband (Glen), her two Siamese cats (Pixie
and Hobo), and her third-hand Pug (Stinky Winston). Since the
recent purchase of their first house, she is spending a lot of time
making improvements inside and working on the gardens outside.
Other interests and hobbies include reading, cooking, soccer, yoga
and, of course, visiting friends and family scattered all over the
United States. |

scooped up to be an anesthesia dog at the University for students to
practice on. After developing seizures, she was scheduled to be
euthanized but Dave could not let that happen. She is just the
sweetest dog and he decided to bring her back home to the
United States.
Dave has 2
teenage children, Jake and Danielle. When not seeing patients
at the clinic, Dave enjoys his free time with his family, learning
to play guitar, fishing and his new passion is bird watching
especially raptors. He was first introduced to this species at the
