Meet Our Doctors
Dr. Michael Orban
Dr. Michael Orban has a deep affection for animals that began long before he donned a white coat. Growing up amid the hustle and bustle of Queens, New York, he always found solace in caring for an assortment of exotic pets – from slithery snakes to tropical fish.
But the companionship of his dear childhood cat and dog companions truly captured his heart. This passion led him on an amazing journey to the Caribbean Island of St. Kitts and then to the storied halls of Cornell University School of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York. Dr. Orban’s commitment to animal welfare has always been the true inspiration in his life and always will be.
Dr. Orban moved to the beautiful Hudson Valley in 2008. He lives in New Paltz, NY, with his wife, son, and two playful pets – a chihuahua and a ferret. Dr. Orban’s hobbies include hiking, cooking, photography, golf, and, most importantly, spending time with his loved ones.
