- Dental CareDr. Giles came to Storybook Farm Veterinary Hospital in 1990, just after graduating from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. He hails from the Southern Tier but loves working and living in the Finger Lakes region. He gained his early animal experience tending to his dad’s small herd of beef cattle and raising and showing quarter horses, but opted to practice small animal medicine once he got out of school. He likes the variety of cases that come through the door daily at Storybook Farm, and appreciates our knowledgeable clients who don’t believe everything “Dr. Google” says. He has been instrumental in expanding the hospital’s dental services. Away from the office he enjoys traveling (especially to Alaska), golf and sports of all kinds. Dr. Giles has always owned collies and usually has at least one or two running around the house at any given time. He and his wife Kathy have two children.

Fleas, ticks or intestinal parasites will be treated if found, and the cost of the treatment will be added to the boarding fee. Your pet will receive prompt treatment for any illness during boarding.
