Meet Our Doctors:

Dr. Wayne Hershberger grew up on a beef and swine farm in Iowa.  He did undergraduate work at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia and at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.  He received the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Iowa State in 1976, when he came to Tyrone.  In 1989, Dr. Hershberger and his wife, Elaine, built Town and Country Animal Hospital in Warriors Mark.

Dr. Hershberger's practice philosophy has always been "to go the extra mile" and treat clients and their animals as he would like to be treated.  This is still the philosophy of Town and Country Animal Hospital.  We know we aren't perfect, but we aim for excellence.

As Dr. Hershberger shifts into retirement, we wish him well, and Town and Country Animal Hospital PC continues to "aim for excellence" in its' care of "All Creatures Great and Small".

Dr. Phil Aquadro has been a part of Town & Country Animal Hospital since 1990, shortly after it opened.
He completed undergraduate studies at Penn State, and received his veterinary degree from Cornell University in 1988. 

His interests include all aspects of mixed animal practice, with special interests in ruminant medicine and surgery, dairy herd health, and small animal surgery. He feels fortunate to have been able to pursue his fascination with animals in a profession that also involves working with, and helping, the people who care for them. 

He lives near Warriors Mark with his wife, Maureen, their children, Maria and Ambrose, their dog, Rudy, and several sheep.  Dr. Aquadro enjoys photography, fly-fishing, grouse-hunting, ice hockey and roller hockey, canoeing/kayaking, and just exploring the hillsides, woods and streams with his dog and family. 

Dr. Deanna Trearchis obtained her veterinary degree from The Ohio State University in May 2019. Prior to this, she graduated from Penn State in 2015 with a degree in pre-veterinary sciences, and she's glad to be back in the Happy Valley area. Dr. Trearchis enjoys the variety that mixed animal practice provides and is especially interested in small and large animal surgery, internal medicine, and dentistry. Originally from New Hampshire, she enjoys water and snow skiing, kayaking, playing tennis, and spending time with her family, and her cat, Moo. She is excited to be a part of the Town and Country family and to meet you and your pets!

Dr. Laura Newlin grew up in the Warriors Mark area on a beef farm with a "myriad of other critters", including sheep, goats, cats, dogs, horses, ferrets, rabbits, and fish. Dr. Newlin obtained her undergraduate degree from Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA before earning her veterinary degree from The Ohio State University in 2004. She joined our staff of doctors upon her graduation in August of 2004 and has been with us ever since.  Dr. Newlin and her husband, Matthew, have two children, Noah and Olivia. Together, they also have 2 dogs, Addie and Ollie, a cat, Milo, and two horses, Ben and Bumble.  In her spare time, she enjoys running, mountain-biking, horseback riding, reading, and spending time with family.

     Dr. Julie Uplinger grew up in Williamsburg, PA on her family's dairy farm.  She received her veterinary degree from Purdue University in 1998.  She joined the staff of Town & Country in May 2003.  Dr. Julie, her husband, and four children live in Williamsburg.  In her free time, she can be found either in a gymnasium or a ball field watching her children's football; baseball; volleyball; or wrestling events.  Her family is also active in 4H and she enjoys helping with their market hog and lamb projects.

                   He enjoys the wide array of experience that mixed animal practice offers in large and small animal medicine.
