Andrei Erik Kasarda, BS, DVM

Dr. Erik grew up on a farm in the Bloomsburg area with dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. He even raised his own chickens to show at state fairs. For Dr. Erik, working as a veterinarian allows him to tap into the unbridled joy of his childhood experiences with animals, while helping both people and pets at the same time. He’s proud to serve as a member of the veterinary team here at Brookville Veterinary Hospital!

Dr. Erik traveled for a period after high school, then enlisted in the United States Navy. After his service, he worked in biotechnical research before moving to Seattle, where he continued to work in biotech and started attending community college to start his veterinary career. Dr. Erik earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington, then attended Ross University’s School of Veterinary Medicine on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. Next, he completed his clinical training at the University of Illinois before graduating as a licensed veterinarian.

Dr. Erik has been helping pets and animal parents in various hospitals around Pennsylvania for the past few years, and joined the Brookville Veterinary Hospital family in June of 2019. He’s been a member of the team ever since! He’s particularly fond of seeing a wide variety of cases on a daily basis—Dr. Erik views each and every appointment as a new start toward healing, and he’s happy to help facilitate that!

In his spare time, Dr. Erik likes bee-keeping, traveling, cooking, and spending time with his family and pets. He and his girlfriend live with two cats, both of whom have only one eye. Linus demands attention when it’s most inconvenient, and the goofy Lucy tends to act more like a dog. (Source)
