Dr. Cielo Hidrobo earned her DVM from the University of Arizona College of Veterinary Medicine in 2026. She joined Columbia Pike in October 2026 as a veterinary intern in the hospital's one-year Vet Ready program.

Dr. Davis Hall is the founder and patriarch of Columbia Pike Animal Hospital and Emergency Center, founded in 1974. Our actual roots were planted in 1974 when, after serving in the military, Dr. Hall acquired Town & Country Animal Hospital in Fairfax.

Dr. Reed Hall, son of Dr. Davis Hall, extends the family’s veterinary legacy. Dr. Hall displays enormous compassion for his patients and clients alike. His clients never leave their appointments without having been educated on topics related to either their pet’s health, treatment, or nutrition.

Dr. Kirchart enjoys all aspects of caring for animals but excels in the areas of soft tissue surgery and abdominal ultrasonography. Her clients speak of her compassion and willingness not to end any appointment without answering every question and thoroughly explaining her treatment plan.

Dr. Novarr knew that he wanted to be a veterinarian early in life when at only nine, he cared for a neighbor’s horses in Connecticut, where he was born and raised.

Hi, I'm Dr. Andrew Nguyen with Columbia Pike Animal Hospital and Emergency Center, and I am a general practitioner here. I also dabble a bit in the urgent care emergency sector. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area.

The plan was set very early. As a young girl, Dr. Fink would “play” veterinarian with her family dogs and cats with the extra medical supplies her dad (a physician) brought home from his practice. She is a relative native, having grown up in Silver Spring.

I was born in Magdeburg, Germany, into a military family, and from a young age, I knew I wanted to become a veterinarian. My passion for animal science began when I was just 12 years old.
