About East Hampton Veterinary Group   

East Hampton Veterinary Group has been a cornerstone of the East End since 1929, making us the oldest and most established veterinary practice in the community. For nearly a century, our hospital has provided trusted and compassionate care to generations of pets and their families. Many of our clients have been with us for years, regarding us as part of their extended family. What began as a small-town clinic has grown into a well-established, full-service practice known for blending modern medicine with the warmth of a tight-knit community atmosphere.
 
Today, our hospital is owned and led by Dr. Kenneth Palmer, who combines traditional veterinary medicine with homeopathic and holistic treatments such as Chinese herbal therapies and acupuncture. This balance of approaches allows us to serve a diverse and loyal client base that values high-quality, individualized care. Our facility is equipped with digital radiography, digital dental radiography, in-house laboratories, and echocardiogram capabilities, giving our doctors the tools to practice advanced diagnostics and treatment. We provide a wide range of surgical services, from routine procedures to more advanced offerings such as TPLO and TTA, along with dentistry, acupuncture, and fear-free techniques.
