Jennifer Marie Garafalo, DVM

A graduate from Long Island University/C.W. Post Campus with a B.S. in Biology in May of 1996. I then attended the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine and received my D.V.M. in May of 2000.
I have always had an interest in wildlife rehabilitation (especially with regards to raptors) but was not afforded the opportunity to work with said creatures until I met the Zimmermans in 2003. Through their patience and guidance I have gained considerable knowledge while offering my services in return. I am currently employed by the Abbott Road Animal Hospital in Orchard Park, New York.
