Alexandra Riehl, DVM

Veterinarian, Practicing at the Gap location

While Dr. Riehl primarily identifies as a small animal general practitioner veterinarian, her true love has always been the less common companion pets referred to as “exotics”. She spent the majority of her free/elective time in veterinary school at Tufts working in the Zoological Companion Animal Medicine Department (ZCAM) and upon graduation was awarded the ZCAM Student of the Year award. Instead of pursuing exotic animal medicine as a board specialty, Dr. Riehl entered general practice veterinary medicine with the specific goal of returning to Lancaster, PA to provide mixed-animal veterinary services to the community that she grew up in.

Brendon Brophy, DVM

Veterinarian, Practicing at the Lancaster location

I’m Dr. Brophy, a proud native of central PA, hailing from the charming town of Mount Holly Springs. My academic journey took me through Millersville University, where I majored in Biology and Studio Art (Ceramics). Following my passion for animal care, I pursued my veterinary education at LSU Vet School, specializing in small animal and exotic/wildlife medicine. Fun fact: I even had the opportunity to conduct research with Alligators!

After graduation, I immersed myself in the fast-paced environment of emergency veterinary medicine for 7 fulfilling years. Eventually, I found my heart drawn to the warmth of family veterinary care, where I thrive in nurturing lasting bonds with both pets and their families. This duality has become my joy, and I’m dedicated to excelling in both arenas. I’m proud to be Fear Free (Level 3) certified and have recently added Reiki to my toolkit, witnessing its profound positive impact on my patients and their loved ones.

But my journey doesn’t stop there. I’m embarking on a new chapter in Integrative Medicine, exploring the ancient wisdom of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine to complement my Western training.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find me indulging in my creative passions, whether it’s painting, gardening, weaving, or experimenting in the kitchen. I’m also an avid gamer, with a soft spot for Mario and Zelda, and I’m currently mastering the art of crochet (left-handed challenges and all!). And what’s a day without a cup of Matcha tea or Chai in hand?

At home, I share my life with my wonderful fiancé and our adorable fur family: two dogs, Teensy and Holly, two cats, Bananas and Doug, and a flourishing collection of orchids.
