Town & Country Veterinary Hospital was established by Nancy Riser, V.M.D. “Doc”, as she was affectionately known in the community, was one of the first female veterinarians in the country, graduating from the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Veterinary Medicine in 1944. Her practice began in Upper Darby, moving to Glen Riddle, PA, in 1954. She lived in what is now called the Sage Farmhouse and transformed the farm into her veterinary campus. She was an expert with goats, operated a goat dairy, and treated a variety of farm and companion animals. In 1987, Laura Madara, V.M.D. (Penn Vet Class of 1984), purchased Dr. Riser’s practice and named it Town and Country Veterinary Hospital. In the early years, Dr. Madara raised her children at the practice while continuing to see clients and patients, including goats. In 1998, Dr. Madara designed and constructed the new hospital to allow for more services in an expanded facility, literally moving just up the street to its current location in the Media and Aston area. The practice and her family continued to flourish. She enjoyed providing personalized veterinary care to the community for over 30 years. In 2017, Yoon Chay, V.M.D. and his wife, Lauren Aldinger, V.M.D. assumed ownership of Town and Country Veterinary Hospital to continue the legacy of excellent veterinary medicine. This husband and wife team of veterinarians also plan on raising their family as an integral part of the practice
