We've built a clinic that works better for pets, their parents, and the team that works here.
As pet parents ourselves, we knew what wasn't working, so we've changed it.
From a thoughtfully designed space thats warm and calming to a team of professionals who are humans first, our clinic is a place you don’t mind coming back to. Our seamless integration of technology at every step makes booking to payment a walk in the park. So, stop in and grab a treat on your walk—we’d love to see you.

Our Doctors
Our Team
Dr. Fortier received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Michigan State University in 2016. After graduation, he moved to New York City and has since lived in The Rockaways.
A passionate lifelong learner, Dr. Fortier is committed to constantly expanding his knowledge and skill set to provide the highest quality veterinary care for your loved ones. He has the following certifications:
Certified Veterinary Medical Acupuncturist (cVMA) – Dr. Fortier is certified to provide evidence and science-based acupuncture. Instead of following the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy of modulating qi flow, science-based acupuncture instead focuses on modulating nerve impulses and stimulating the release of pain-killing molecules.
Veterinary Botanical Medicine Consultant (VBMC) – Dr. Fortier has been trained in the evidence and science-based use of herbal supplements. This means that he can help answer questions about the evidence for or against different herbal products, possible herb-drug interactions, and which herbs to avoid in various conditions. While this course provides exposure to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal medications, Dr. Fortier does not prescribe these treatments.
Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Veterinarian (CHPV) – This course provides advanced training in end-of-life care. The primary focuses are high quality medical management, supporting pet parents’ emotional health, and euthanasia techniques.
Low Stress Handling® Certified – Silver (LCHC-S), Elite Fear Free Certified (Elite FFCP), & Cat Friendly Veterinarian (CFV) – Dr. Fortier has obtained these three certifications which teach the general philosophy and hand-on techniques needed to provide low stress veterinary care.
These advanced skills have helped Dr. Fortier mold All Ears Veterinary into a compassionate clinic that focuses on each patient as a whole being, not just their symptoms. Dr. Fortier is committed to offering all reasonable options for care, ensuring each pet has the least stressful experience possible, and educating pet parents so that they never leave the clinic confused by their loved ones’ diseases or treatment options.
Dr. Emily grew up outside of Boston, MA, but more recently could be found wandering the rolling hills and cobbled streets of bonnie Scotland. A lover of all creatures great and small, it was a particular fondness for wildlife that inspired her to pursue a veterinary degree after completing a Masters of Science in Conservation Medicine at Tufts University.
She earned her BVM&S degree from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh, where she went on to complete an extended internship with the Dick Vet Rabbit and Exotics Practice following her graduation. While she loves all of the non-traditional companion animals, her particular favorite species include rabbits, snakes, tortoises, and cockatiels!
Dr. Emily strives to provide calm, stress-free care, while helping families navigate health care decisions with transparency, clinical expertise, and compassion. In her spare time Emily loves to travel, keep fit with a variety of different activities, and snuggle with her extraordinarily fluffy cat, Winnie.
Born and raised in New York, Dr. Yau cultivated her animal-loving nature by immersing herself in the diverse world of veterinary medicine at a young age. After volunteering at farms, zoos, and small animal clinics, and growing up with beloved shih tzus, she transformed her childhood fascination with animals into a mature understanding and academic interest in their health and well-being. Dr. Yau graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania in 2016, with a major in Behavioral Neuroscience and double minor in Creative Writing & Biology. She continued her studies at Cornell University, where she obtained her DVM degree with Phi Zeta honors in 2020. After several years in private practice, Dr. Yau lived in Hong Kong for a year and worked in academia with a diverse, multilingual staff and clientele.
Dr. Yau’s professional interests include soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and conservation. She is also passionate about science communication and believes it is a powerful platform to raise awareness of important topics and highlight the human-animal bond. Dr. Yau values using compassion, transparency, and clinical expertise to deliver personalized medicine, allowing for informed discussion and decision-making with pet parents to provide quality care to their pets.
Outside of work, Dr. Yau performs as a DJ and enjoys learning foreign languages, watching films and television, and appreciating the culinary arts. She has an adventurous spirit and has spent time in 6 continents, conducting research on primates, kangaroos, elephants, and big cats.
