Meet Our Doctors:

Dr. Wayne Hershberger grew up on a beef and swine farm in Iowa. He did undergraduate work at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia and at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. He received the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Iowa State in 1976, when he came to Tyrone. In 1989, Dr. Hershberger and his wife, Elaine, built Town and Country Animal Hospital in Warriors Mark.
Dr. Hershberger's practice philosophy has always been "to go the extra mile" and treat clients and their animals as he would like to be treated. This is still the philosophy of Town and Country Animal Hospital. We know we aren't perfect, but we aim for excellence.
As Dr. Hershberger shifts into retirement, we wish him well, and Town and Country Animal Hospital PC continues to "aim for excellence" in its' care of "All Creatures Great and Small".

Dr. Phil Aquadro has been a part of Town & Country Animal Hospital since 1990, shortly after it opened. He completed undergraduate studies at Penn State, and received his veterinary degree from Cornell University in 1988.
His interests include all aspects of mixed animal practice, with special interests in ruminant medicine and surgery, dairy herd health, and small animal surgery. He feels fortunate to have been able to pursue his fascination with animals in a profession that also involves working with, and helping, the people who care for them.
He lives near Warriors Mark with his wife, Maureen, their children, Maria and Ambrose, their dog, Rudy, and several sheep. Dr. Aquadro enjoys photography, fly-fishing, grouse-hunting, ice hockey and roller hockey, canoeing/kayaking, and just exploring the hillsides, woods and streams with his dog and family.
