Meet the Business Owner
Mitchell P.
Business Owner
Born in a rural farm community in Illinois, Dr. Mitchell was exposed to lots of animals at a young age. That is because his father, Dr. Irving Pudalov was a mixed animal vet servicing everything from cows to kittens. Moved to LI in 1955 where Dr. Irving founded the hospital. Dr. Mitchell grew up in Wantagh and graduated in 1968. He got his BS in Microbiology at Colorado State University where he met his lovely wife Linda who does the bookkeeping for the practice. Moved to back to Illinois and nearly completed a Masters in Ed and taught HS Biology. Graduated from veterinary school at the University of Illinois in 1980 and has been practicing at Wantagh ever since. The Pudalov’s have 2 children that are now married.
Enjoys all facets of veterinary medicine; especially radiology and laser surgery. He is very grateful for his fine staff and loyal clients; especially proud of all the rescue and adoption work that has been done without fanfare at the hospital.
