Dr. George Palmer
Veterinarian
"I graduated from Cornell in '79, worked briefly in Chenango and St. Lawrence counties and returned home in '81. I have 4 active kids who are involved in all sorts of sports and academics, and I myself am involved in the local hockey scene - so try to avoid emergencies during the games (Just Kidding!). Believe it or not, I do have other committments outside the practice. I spend most of my time on the road now, doing large animal calls and the best time to catch me is 7:00am Monday - Friday mornings. I may be in the office depending on the outside workload on Tuesday evenings 6:00pm-8:00pm.
