Our History
East Springfield Veterinary Hospital, Inc. (ESVH) was originally founded in 1980 by Richard A. Hersman, DVM.
Dr. R. A. Hersman was prematurely taken from his position as owner and veterinarian by Acute Myologenous
Leukemia in 1998. His daughter and son refuse to see his life long passion and hard work die. Amy Zander, M.S.
Organizational Communication and Andrew Hersman, D.V.M., have fused talents and anticipate a long and healthy
relationship with their clients, patients, team, and community.
ESVH offers a full range of services to small companion animals; specifically dogs and cats. We are equipped to
manage the wellness of our patients through routine office visits, vaccinations, nutrition counseling, senior wellness
exams, laboratory diagnostics, radiology, ultrasonography, dentistries, routine surgeries, and emergencies.
Due to the longevity of the company, the long-term relationships with our clients and families, and the reputation of
our doctors, we serve clients from many locales. Our clients travel from the Greater Springfield area including (but
not limited to) Chicopee, Southwick, West Springfield, Westfield, South Hadley, Ludlow, Belchertown, Hampden,
Wilbraham, East Longmeadow and Longmeadow. Since our location is accessible from many areas, we even have

Annual or Biannual Wellness Exams
Your pet ages 5 to 10 times faster than humans. Therefore, yearly physical exams by veterinarians are even
more crucial. Disease may be diagnosed and treated earlier, possibly saving your pet's life and definitely improving
the quality of your pet's life.
Dental Exams and Cleaning
Dental Exams and Cleaning
Oral Disease is the most common problem seen in animals. The importance of good oral health improves your
pet's quality of life: eating, communicating, grooming, and playing. Oral disease may be extremely painful, cause
bad breath, and lead to systemic disease and organ failure. East Springfield Veterinary Hospital offers excellent and
safe dental procedures to keep your pet happy and healthy.
Surgery
Surgeries Include:
•Spays and neuters
•Mass (tumor) removals
•Orthopedics
•Other complicated surgeries
We make it a priority to monitor our patients closely under anesthesia. All patients are given appropriate medication to manage
pain during recovery.
Radiology and Ultrasound
To help us properly treat our patients we offer advanced diagnostic imaging. Our x-ray machine is now complimented with the
addition of our ultrasound machine. This gives us the advantage to diagnose heart disease, liver and kidney disease, and cancer.
The bladder, gastrointestinal system, and other organs can be assessed using ultrasonography.
