Dr. Wilhelm purchased STAH from Dr. Tritch in 2016, and he is devoted to ensuring high quality care while making lasting relationships with clients and their pets in a positive atmosphere. Outside of work, Dr. Wilhelm enjoys trail running, hunting, fishing, camping, and spending time with his family.

Dr. Lori Mildrew

Owner

Dr. Mildrew was born and raised in St. Marys, Pennsylvania, and has practiced in Lewisburg, Danville, and Bloomsburg before joining the STAH as co-owner in April, 2017. She is a 2004 graduate of Penn State University and a 2008 graduate of Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.

At nine years of age, Dr. Mildrew decided that she wanted to become a veterinarian due to her love of animals and the remarkable human-animal bond. Dr. Mildrew has professional interests in dentistry and soft tissue injury and a passion for feline medicine (although she loves canines, too)! Dr. Mildrew was a member of the 2015 PVMA Power of 10 Leadership Academy. She also completed “Fear Free” Certification, the training program that helps veterinarians modify their procedures, handling, and facilities to help pets feel safe and comfortable while receiving the medical care they need.
Dr. Lori Mildrew shares her home in Lewisburg with her husband, Dr. Tristan Wilhelm, two sons, two dogs, and three cats. Her personal interests include trail running, board & card games, and spending time with her family – especially camping. Dr. Mildrew is excited to provide compassionate, high-quality care to your family members.
