Veterinarians
Dr. Andrew Femino
Dr. Andrew Femino grew up at Smithtown Village Animal Hospital. Son of Dr. Joseph Femino, founder of Smithtown Village Animal Hospital, it was apparent from a young age that Dr. Femino would follow in his father’s footsteps. After completing his undergraduate work at SUNY Stony Brook, Dr. Femino graduated from Ross University in 1995, and began working here at Smithtown Village. His professional interests lie in Internal Medicine, Radiography, Surgery and Preventive Care. In his free time, Dr. Femino enjoys spending time with his wife, Dr. Claudine Hoffman, and their three daughters. In addition to that, he is an avid fly fisherman, outdoorsman and enjoys snowboarding.
Dr. Claudine Hoffman Femino
Dr. Claudine Hoffman Femino graduated from Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1996. She was born and raised on Long Island. After practicing on the East End of Long Island for a year, Dr. Hoffman joined her husband, Dr. Andrew Femino, at Smithtown Village Animal Hospital in 1997. Her professional interests include Internal Medicine, Radiography, Dermatology and Preventive Care. She is a member of the AVMA, NYSVMS, and LIVMA. When not practicing medicine, Dr. Hoffman plays the role of an active, involved mother to their three daughters. If there is any time left after that, she really enjoys spending time with her three dogs, singing and playing the bass guitar,
knitting, and fly fishing with her husband, Dr. Andrew!
