SHINNECOCK ANIMAL HOSPITAL - Key Persons
Dr. Molnar knew early on in life that he wanted to work with animals. He is so lucky to be able to do what he truly loves every day!
He began working at the Shinnecock Animal Hospital while attending college at Long Island University in Southampton. After many years of working as a Veterinary Technician his dream of going to Veterinary school came true. Dr. Molnar received his DVM upon completion of his clinical year at Michigan State University's Teaching Hospital. During his clinical and academic veterinary career he has been nationally recognized by Pfizer, The American Animal Hospital Association, and the Glassen Foundation alike for outstanding achievement and excellence in the disciplines of anesthesiology, small animal internal medicine, surgery, and pharmacology.
Since joining the staff at Shinnecock Animal Hospital he has pursued interests in client education, and veterinary dentistry. He has become a recognized member of the American Veterinary Dental Society and has introduced the use of intra-oral digital dental radiography and oral surgery techniques to the practice. He has also studied Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (herbal medicine and acupuncture) under the guidance of the renowned Huisheng Xie DVM, Phd, MS.
Dr. Molnar is our hospitals Medical Director as well as the Medical Director for the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue. By being able to do this, it has given him the honor of learning about, and working with all kinds of different animals. Dr. Molnar is very passionate about all animals and has a huge soft spot for wildlife.
Dr. Kelly Tierney joined our staff in 2015. Dr. Tierney has always had a huge love for all things furry. Her love for animals started early and growing up she would always bring home stray animals. After many years of working in her local animal hospital she decided that she wanted to make a difference and attend Veterinary school.
She is a graduate of the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada. A native of Oceanside, Dr. Tierney spent her summers growing up in the Hamptons. Her main interests are nutrition, feline and small mammal medicine. She has a huge soft spot for geriatric patients.
When she is not at work, Kelly enjoys hiking, going to the beach, collecting cats (haha) and national park hopping. She shares her life with her husband James, who is also a Veterinarian, their beautiful daughter Athena, and adorable son Finn. They are fortunate to be able to enjoy their life with their fur kids Swiss Miss and Parsnip (two kitties).
