Host: Ellen Haas Guest: Dr. Gene Witiak Description: Dr. Gene Witiak practiced veterinary in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, since 1963. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, he worked in another practice for several years. Then in 1969, Dr. Witiak founded Lehigh Valley Animal Hospital in Kuhnsville, with one other employee – his wife Joan! The practice grew, and he opened a second office at his home on Bath Pike north of Bethlehem. In May 2016, he became the joint owner of Hanover View Animal Hospital, in partnership with Dr. Denae Ervin, working with an awesome staff of certified veterinary technicians and receptionists, who had been with him for a long time. In 2019, Dr. Witiak retired after over 5 decades of veterinary service in the Lehigh Valley. He will still occasionally stop in the office to say hello and check in on everyone.
