Veterinarian Overview
Susan Metzger, DVM, was raised in the western New York area. She received her bachelor of science from Cornell in 1977 and her doctorate from the NYS College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell in 1983. Upon graduation, she joined the Orchard Park Veterinary Medical Center. She, along with Dr. Mark Hedges and Dr. David Brummer, purchased the practice from Dr. John Laurie in 1995. In 2017 they sold the practice to a group of their young, enthusiastic, talented and hard working associates. Dr. Metzger decided to become a veterinarian when she was about 10 years old. Her mother is a great animal lover, and their home was always a place where the neighborhood kids brought sick, injured, or orphaned animals. While in high school, she developed a strong interest in science, so a career in veterinary medicine just seemed to make sense. When not working, Dr. Metzger loves the outdoors and enjoys hiking, biking, skiing, and gardening. Her family consists of her husband, Jay; their two sons, Jon and Matthew; her beloved dog, Kiko and her lovable but challenging cat, Bandit.
