Prytania Veterinary Hospital
Our doors opened for the first time in 1992 as Dr. Brian Ghere and Dr. Nancy Nathan realized their long-time dream to open their very own hospital to provide the best possible healthcare to the feline and canine residents of New Orleans. Their constant values of kindness, gentleness, and humaneness have always guided our hospital.

Since opening a quarter-century ago, we have been lucky enough to grow our practice to include three additional excellent doctors: Rachelle Biondolillo, Jennifer Foster, and Dr. Ghere's daughter, Taylor Ghere. All of our doctors and staff view our work as a calling. We take pride in our work every day and we are thankful to be able to provide assistance to and show compassion for all of our pets and our clients.
Services
You work hard to ensure that your furry family member has the best possible life. That's why partnering with a veterinary provider who genuinely cares for you both is so important. At Prytania Veterinary Hospital, we are proud to offer a comprehensive range of services to address your pet's specific veterinary needs.
Gwen has been with Prytania Vet since we opened in 1992 and has worked in the veterinary field since she was 13 years old. She's worked every position throughout the hospital from kennel to reception and has been the practice manager since 1996. She graduated from UNO with a biology degree. She enjoys working with an amazing group of people and hearing her co-workers singing throughout the hospital and talking to our patients.
Through the American Veterinary Medical Foundation's Veterinary Care Charitable Fund, our hospital is able to help animals rescued from abuse and neglect and the pets of clients facing personal hardships. Your donations to the AVMF on behalf of our hospital will help us help animals. Prytania Veterinary Hospital is excited to support a variety of charitable organizations in our community.
We strive to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent illness whenever possible. The time and effort invested in wellness programs have rewards for both pets and owners. Our wellness programs are designed specifically for your pet and include a comprehensive physical exam, internal parasite testing, vaccination program, heartworm and flea control, and specialized blood tests for all life stages.
Professional cleaning can be important to maintaining your pet's dental health. We use a modern and safe ultrasonic scaler to thoroughly clean each tooth - above and below the gum line. Dental technicians polish teeth to create a smooth tooth surface more resistant to plaque build-up. More advanced dental care is also available.

Grateful to have found this place for my two cats. One cat just needed a regular annual check up and vaccine update, but my older cat was having GI problems. They have always been able to get me in the next day which is a relief after having dealt with the headache of making appointments for my own healthcare. The vet techs are so sweet and friendly. I have been mostly working with Dr. Matt and he has been amazing checking in on my kitty with follow up phone calls and talking me through the plan of care.

Love this practice. Dr Nathan and her team are the best. She’s super personable and so gentle with my dog. Always timely and responsive to any questions, care or issues my pup has had or needed.

Knocked my socks off. Though hard to find, the place was large and clean, brand new. Lots of parking, lots.
We have been going to them for a long time. Wish they had moved years ago.

Dr. Nathan is amazing!! I am sad to be moving and having to find another vet. She is very caring and always answers any questions I may have. She’s great with my very nervous dog.

My first veterinary experience and it was super easy and professional. The Doctor and Tech were super friendly and informative, and really made myself and my kitten feel welcomed and cared for. There was great follow up the next day. I highly recommend them

We love Prytania Vet and every dog I've ever had loves Prytania Vet. I can't say my cats have loved it but cats will be cats. Dr. Ghere has been the vet for our dogs since 1993!

Everything. they take excellent care of their clients and their foster pets. I have adopted cats from other places, but a Prytania adopted pet is so sweet and friendly , because they take them home at night and give them love and attention and make them part of a family.

This Vet Hospital is as good as it gets in every way, actually better than any other we've relied upon to care for our 4-legged family members over many decades. But by far the best thing about it is the staff, every single one of them, all of whom you can read about on the web site. What we, Peggy and I, can add is that their compassion exceeds… their unsurpassed professionalism. And that is the best thing any of us can ever say about any of the rest of us. A special note to Dr. Nathan from both of us: you recently helped us through an immense family loss. All our love.
