Dr. Nicholas Pope grew up on a farm in Oklahoma, knowing from day one he wanted to be a vet. His grandmother was the office manager of a multidoctor vet clinic in his hometown, inspiring his desire to own and operate veterinary hospitals and beginning his lifelong involvement in the veterinary industry. Dr. Pope earned his DVM degree from Oklahoma State University and is passionate about delivering exceptional patient care, leadership development for his team members, and practice management. He focuses on providing clients an exceptional experience while helping their beloved four-legged family members live their best lives. Dr. Pope loves living the farm life in beautiful Hunterdon Country with his wife Elizabeth (also a vet), their son Benjamin, and a vast assortment of animals. When not at any of his practices, you can find him either fishing the Raritan, golfing, or driving around admiring his cows.

Born in Brooklyn, NY but raised in central New Jersey, I was fond of all types of animals growing up. I went to undergrad at Rutgers University, where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science and minored in Marine Biology. I then pursued my life’s dream by graduating with High Honors from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. After vet school, I returned to Brooklyn to practice general medicine and surgery at Marine Park Veterinary Group. I was also lucky enough to work at the Veterinary Emergency and Referral Group as a staff ER doctor for several years. At the time it was the only 24-hour emergency and referral center in Brooklyn. In 2013 I helped open, and became the medical director, for Mill Basin Veterinary Clinic where I was able to develop strong bonds with clients and patients in the south Brooklyn neighborhood. Family brought me back to my roots in NJ in 2022. I am happy to have found a home working with Symbios Animal Health staff and look forward to meeting their valued clients and patients. Outside of veterinary medicine, I enjoy all things outdoorsy including hiking, running, gardening and even obstacle races. At home I enjoy crafting, movie time and spending time with my husband Joshua and 3 cats (Patrick, Eugene and Ham Sandwich) and rescue dog Micco.
