By May 1st, 2013No Comments

Dr. Michael Henes received his DVM degree at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1968. After five years in clinical small animal practice, he conceived, built and opened the Croton Animal Hospital in June, 1973, where he has been a fixture ever since.

In recent years, he has devoted his non-veterinary hours to his love of photography, doing professional photo shoots of pets and their people. In 2005 Mike was chosen: “Best Pet Photographer,” by Westchester Magazine. His work has been displayed in various shows throughout Westchester and New York City.

Dr. Henes is a member of the AVMA, the NYS and Westchester/Rockland VMA as well as the AAHA and is an associate member of the American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology. His professional journal contributions include “Cardiac Manifestations of Lyme Disease in a Dog” published in VM/SAC.

Dr. Henes is a founding member and secretary of the executive board of the Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) located in Greenburgh. He has served two terms on the Croton-Harmon school board and is past president of the Bramblebush homeowners association.
