Please welcome Dr. Emily Gerhard to our practice!
Thanks for stopping by!
We believe in a progressive approach to veterinary medicine, but hold true to providing high-quality medicine and service to the pets and the people who love them. A hospital’s strength comes from within, and ours stems from our Team. We have the best team of client service, pet nurses, and doctors. Their compassion and dedication are exhibited with each and every appointment they see.
Changing Hours
At Progressive Veterinary Care, our mission has always been to provide the best care for your pets, and we are incredibly grateful for your ongoing trust and support. As many of you know, the veterinary profession is experiencing some changes, and like many practices, we’ve had to adjust our schedules to ensure we can continue to offer the high-quality care you and your pets deserve.
With that in mind, we want to inform you of a slight shift in our late-night hours. Starting Tuesday, October 8th, we will be moving our late-night availability from Thursday to Tuesday evenings. This adjustment will allow us to better maximize our team’s availability, ensuring we continue to meet the needs of our clients and their pets in the best way possible.
We truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we make these changes to keep up with the evolving demands of our field. Your loyalty means the world to us, and we are committed to being here for you and your pets, just as you have always been here for us.
If you have any questions or need to reschedule any upcoming appointments, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team. We’re here to help!
Thank you once again for your trust, patience, and understanding as we navigate these adjustments together.
Warm regards,
The Progressive Veterinary Care Team

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Emily Gerhard to our practice! As a local resident, Dr. Gerhard is not only a skilled veterinarian but also a valued member of our community. She will bring the best medicine and customer service to the patients and clients of our hospital. Working closely with Dr. Tokiwa, and guided by his mentorship and approach to caring for pets and their owners, Dr. Gerhard is dedicated to providing top-notch care.
Emily began her veterinary journey at Delaware Valley University and earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from The Ohio State University in 2020. After refining her skills at a small animal practice in Ohio, Dr. Gerhard moved closer to home. She is passionate about keeping your furry kids healthy with preventative care and has a special knack for neurology, surgery, and feline medicine. Additionally, she is “fear-free certified,” using stress-free handling techniques to ensure every vet visit is as comfortable as possible for your pets.
When she’s not at the clinic, Dr. Gerhard enjoys spending time with her husband, James, and their two adorable adopted cats, Ellie and Maple. She’s also a powerhouse at the gym, enjoying weightlifting and powerlifting, and loves spending time outdoors hiking and kayaking. With Dr. Gerhard on your pet’s side, you can be confident they are in caring, capable hands!
