Our Doctors

As a passionate Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Chelsea Facison believes that every pet deserves quality care, regardless of financial circumstances. With nearly two years of hands-on experience, she brings a fresh perspective to her commitment to accessible veterinary services. Dr. Facison earned her DVM from Lincoln Memorial University after completing her undergraduate studies at Tuskegee University. 

Dr. Facison actively advocates for diversity in veterinary medicine through her involvement with the Black DVM Network. In her free time, she enjoys gaming and cherishes moments spent with her husband and their three pets: Bourbon the Beagle, Whiskey the grey tabby, and Sake the Sphynx.

Dr. Sasha Hilchuck grew up in Greenwich Village, New York City. Sasha’s childhood pets included a sweet little dog named Foxy, who looked just like a fox, and pair of Siamese cats who gave birth to a litter of kittens in her family’s apartment. When Dr. Hilchuck was seven years old, she had the privilege of assisting one of her dad’s friends — a veterinarian — with surgery. From that point forward, she knew she wanted to be a veterinarian.

Dr. Hilchuck pursued her undergraduate degree at Cornell University before moving on to complete her doctorate at University of Pennsylvania’s School of Veterinary Medicine in 1996. She then went on to work at The Cat Practice on 5th avenue, as well as the ASPCA. As a practitioner, Dr. Hilchuck loves forming special relationships with her clients and their pets, and has a special interest in surgery.

Dr. Hilchuck shares her home with her wonderful husband (who she inherited 10 grandchildren from!). She loves going on group family vacations, eating out at restaurants, and spending time at the beach. Tik Tok is her guiltiest pleasure.
