Dr. Nicholas Pope grew up on a farm in Oklahoma, knowing from an early age that he wanted to be a veterinarian. Inspired by his grandmother, who managed a multi-doctor veterinary clinic in his hometown, Dr. Pope developed a passion for veterinary practice ownership, exceptional patient care, team leadership, and practice management. He now enjoys life in beautiful Hunterdon County, where he lives on a small farm with his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Pope, and their son, Benjamin. Outside of work, Dr. Pope’s life revolves around animals—including two beloved dogs, Eloise and Brody, and a small herd of cows, goats, and chickens. When he’s not at the clinic, you can find him fishing the Raritan, golfing, or simply admiring his cows.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised in central New Jersey, Dr. Amy Lipnicki was fond of all types of animals growing up. She attended Rutgers University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science and minored in Marine Biology. She then pursued her dream by graduating with High Honors from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. After veterinary school, Dr. Lipnicki returned to Brooklyn to practice general medicine and surgery at Marine Park Veterinary Group. She also worked for several years as a staff ER doctor at the Veterinary Emergency and Referral Group, Brooklyn’s only 24-hour emergency and referral center at the time.

In 2013, Dr. Lipnicki co-founded Mill Basin Veterinary Clinic, where she served as medical director and built strong bonds with clients and patients in the South Brooklyn neighborhood. Family brought her back to her roots in New Jersey in 2022, and she is delighted to have found a home with the Symbios Animal Health team. Dr. Lipnicki looks forward to meeting their valued clients and patients.

Outside of veterinary medicine, Dr. Lipnicki enjoys all things outdoors, including hiking, running, gardening, and obstacle races. At home, she enjoys crafting, watching movies, and spending time with her husband, Joshua, their three cats (Patrick, Eugene, and Captain Nacho), and their rescue dog, Micco.
