Robert T. Sullivan Jr., V.M.D., C.C.R.P

Traveling to South Montrose since childhood to visit his grandparents, Lee and Doris Sebring, instilled a love of Susquehanna County. After graduating from the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Veterinary Medicine in 1996, Dr. Bob moved to and started working in Montrose. In 2005 he started Southtown Veterinary Hospital at its original location on route 29 and eight years later built the current facility.

Dr. Bob has a special interest in internal medicine, general and orthopedic surgery, as well as caring for exotics, pocket pets, birds and reptiles. In 2013 he became certified in Canine Rehabilitation by the University of Tennessee and is one of the only veterinarians in our area to do so. His favorite part of veterinary medicine…finding out what is wrong and fixing it…the more unusual the issue, the better.

Dr. Bob is married to Rebecca and they have two wonderful children, Alannah and Lee John. Over the years his pets have included ferrets, fish, horses, and rodents. Currently the Sullivans have a crazy Chesapeake Bay Retriever a pair of sweet coon hound mixes Bettie and Charley and two sets of ginger boy kitties.

When not in the office, Dr. Bob spends his time researching and reading up on new things to do when he is back at the hospital…lol And when we can rip him away you can find him tending to his flock of chickens, his beehives or his garden.

Dr. Jessica Sheruda

Dr. Jess is a 2016 graduate of University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and joined our practice in 2021. She is the perfect complement to Dr. Bob and they work exceedingly well together to ensure the very best for each patient. Dr. Jess is fantastic at building relationships with clients so that together they can provide the best care for their pets. She loves the diversity of medicine within the profession and when not at STVH, shares her knowledge at other places in Pennsylvania as an ER doctor and with an Equine Practice. Dr. Jess has lived locally all her life and currently owns a farm near her parents with 100+ head of beef cows. At home she has Jaxon, a golden retriever, Athena, a golden mix and 2 cats, Whiskey ad Tango. On her days off (which we don’t think she actually ever gets) she enjoys kayaking, fishing, gardening and loves to be with her family, especially her 5 nieces and nephews. 

Rebecca: Office Manager

Rebecca helped open Southtown Vet with her husband Dr. Bob and is so very proud of its growth.  While she spends much of her time taking care of things behind the scenes, you may see her in rooms as your pet's technician or at the front desk performing receptionist duties.

Moving to Montrose in 2006, she was immediately touched by the warmth of the community and felt this was her home.  Her greatest joy is her family, including her two beautiful children, Alannah, and Lee John.   

When not at work, she spends most of her time volunteering in the community and at her church. She runs a monthly food pantry that assists 200+ families and started a program to give out pet food to needy patrons when coming through the distribution.  Most recently Rebecca’s time is filled with training the new family puppies, Bettie and Charley, who are always at the office with her. 

When asked what is her favorite thing at Southtown Vet, Rebecca says, "Our team; I am so grateful for all the amazing people that work here.  We are a family."

Laurie: Tech Supervisor

Laurie is our tech supervisor/ anesthesiologist. She has lived in the area for over 10 years and resides with her husband and pet family which includes; two dogs, a few cats, and some chickens. Laurie says she has enjoyed working at STVH and being a part of our team since 2006. Her special interests include, anesthesia and caring for hospitalized patients. Laurie loves each and every animal that comes into this office but has very special place in her heart for kittens. Bring in the littlest, sickliest kitten and she will do everything and anything to nurse it back to health.

Riley

If you call to make an appointment there is a good chance you might speak with Riley, there is also a good chance that she may have had experience with the species of animal you are calling about as she has had dogs, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, leopard geckos and ducks. She currently has a senior yorkie-shihtzu mix and pitbull that survived parvo virus at 7 weeks old. She has worked at Animal Adventure for many years and is hoping to get some tech time in at STVH soon. . Steve Irwin had a huge impact on her growing up and has inspired her to understand all living things. She credits her Mother for nurturing this interest, her younger sister for always supporting her and her longtime boyfriend for giving her the encouragement that she needs When she is not here, she enjoys watching movies, especially horror films and working on cars.
