Dr. Tiffany Kay is co-owner of Hickory Veterinary and Specialty Hospital since 2020 with her husband, whose grandfather started the practice over 65 years ago. Originally, she grew up in Vandling, PA, a small town just north of Scranton. She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Scranton, prior to attending veterinary school at the University of Pennsylvania. Tiffany met her husband Will in veterinary school and they got married shortly after graduation.
She has developed diverse experiences as a practitioner while moving across the country (several times) while Will pursued his specialty training. She has practiced in San Diego, CA, as an emergency veterinary at a high volume clinic, followed by general practice at a small private practice in Mississippi. She worked at a large general practice in New Jersey as well for a few years.
Tiffany provides general practice, emergency, dental and surgical services to our clients and patients. Tiffany loves dentistry and internal medicine cases most, but her favorite aspect of veterinary medicine is the bond she creates with the pet and owner that builds trust and helps pets live their best lives. Tiffany became certified in physical rehabilitation in 2023 and enjoys providing this service to help heal both dogs and cats alike post operatively and also providing a higher quality of life in older age, painful and arthritic pets.
Tiffany and Will welcomed their third child, Grace to their family of (previously) four in April 2024. Her, along with their two sons James and Oliver have an active life outside of work. They enjoy to travel with family, plan events and crafting, and make time to see her close friends. They have two dogs, Winston (a family English labrador) and June (a rescue from Mississippi). Their two cats, Sharkey and Bones you may see roaming around the hospital as clinic cats!
