Our Doctors

Our Founder

Dr. Miller is now retired, but is the founder of Carnegie Hill Veterinarians. He was raised in Queens, New York. His family always shared a love for animals, and cats and dogs were always cherished companions in their household growing up. Dr. Miller received his doctorate of veterinary medicine from Cornell University in 1969 before going on to practice at Manhattan Vet and North Shore Animal Hospital. He very much enjoys meeting clients with their pets, and could never choose between cats and dogs; He loves both! Dr. Miller’s wife is allergic to pets, so he doesn’t have any of his own at home — which makes his time with your pets even more precious. Still, his wife Lucy has supported his career for 43 years. Dr. Miller enjoys hiking, playing poker, and enjoying good food. His guilty pleasure is chocolate.

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.

Dr. Geer grew up in New York City and attended Columbia University, from which she received a B.A. in French. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, after which she completed a year of post-graduate internship training at New England Equine Practice in Patterson, NY.

She loves to work in both small animal and equine practice and resides with her husband and daughter in Manhattan and Amenia, NY.

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.
