Sarah Bronko, DVM
Resident in Dentistry & Oral Surgery
“While I was working in a primary care setting, I noticed the resounding difference that treatment of dental disease made in my patients’ overall health and happiness, and the great improvement in quality of life that they experienced. I have now found the best job in the world, helping relieve pets from dental pain every day, and educating pet owners and other veterinarians about the importance of preventative and therapeutic dental care.”
Dr. Bronko graduated with her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in 2013, where she was a member of the Phi Zeta Veterinary Honors Society. She worked in Vermont for eight years as a small animal general practitioner, followed by two years working in a general practice (limited to dentistry), before joining the VDS team.

Kirk Herrmann, DVM, DAVDC
Board-Certified in Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery
“My passion for animals started at a very young age and being a veterinarian was the only thing I could ever imagine as a profession. My path to pursue dentistry and oral surgery came when I was able to witness the incredible transformations in the lives of pets following treatment of their oral diseases. It’s fulfilling to see the improvement in the quality of life of both the pets and their owners when the gifted team at VDS diagnoses and surgically treats their diseases. We have long known the importance of oral health in human medicine, and it is my goal to provide that level of comfort and care for our beloved pets!”
Dr. Herrmann grew up in Bucks County, PA where he graduated from Delaware Valley College. He earned his DVM in 2016 at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. Following a rotating internship at the Veterinary Specialty Center of Delaware, he continued his education with a residency in Dentistry and Oral Surgery in Gaithersburg, MD under the guidance of Dr. Mark Smith and Dr. Kendall Taney. In 2022, he became a Diplomate (board-certified specialist) of the American Veterinary Dental College.
His clinical interests include periodontal surgery, endodontics, feline stomatitis, interceptive orthodontics, and oral surgical oncology. Outside of the office, Dr. Herrmann enjoys spending time with his dog, Yams, in the outdoors and his large extended family.

“My years in general practice taught me the transformational effect of dental care. Many pet owners have shared that a dental procedure has transformed their dog or cat into a youngster again! Specialty training taught me the finer points of life-saving procedures, such as removing oral cancers and jaw fracture repair, and these are some of the most rewarding cases. The great thing about VDS is our uncompromising patient care. Each patient receives the best care in the finest facility from the best staff and world-renowned specialists.”
Dr. Lewis is past-president of the American Veterinary Dental Society. Dr. Lewis graduated from University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1997 and spent five years in general practice prior to returning for a residency in dentistry and oral surgery.
