Dr. Gloria Binkowski has been on the staff at Vet at the Barn since 2000. Gloria’s special interests include acupuncture, nutrition, and cats. Gloria came to the Vet at the Barn with several years’ experience in a feline only practice and she also was chief veterinarian in a large urban pound/hospital in NJ. In veterinary school, at the University of Pennsylvania, by taking legal action against the school, Gloria was instrumental in effecting precedent-setting changes in the school’s curriculum so that students would no longer be forced to harm or kill
animals in the course of their veterinary training. Because of the example set at the University of Pennsylvania, other veterinary schools in the United States were compelled to honor student requests for nonviolent alternatives.
Gloria shares her time and home in NJ with some of the many once homeless animals who have crossed her path over the years

DONNA
Working as a receptionist at The Vet at the Barn is a whole new world for me. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with knowledgeable people who really care for both the patients and their owners. The science of medicine, conventional and holistic, has always been fascinating to me. To be a small part of this office is a true learning experience.
I have worked in education for over 20 years. During the day I work at a local elementary school teaching children who are “at risk” learners how to read. I find it very rewarding to see the spark in a child’s eye when they “get it”.
I feel very blessed to share my life with my three wonderful children, of whom all I am very proud, Jeanmarie, Christina, and Steven and my exceptional husband Mike. Along with a Maltese, 2 border collie mixes, a cat, 2 parakeets and 2 finches we are a very busy family!

ANNIE
Hi, my name is Annie, one of the receptionists at Vet at The Barn. I also serve as the Non-Anesthetic Dental Clinic Coordinator. Previously, I have worked at another veterinary practice and ended up being adopted by 3 adorable cats, Mimi, Shy and Sneaky. Over the years I've learned to work with animals and have enjoyed their company. Working at Vet at The Barn has given me the opportunity to learn more about animals and I've had the pleasure of seeing and working with exotic animals as well.
