Our History

VCA Fairmount Animal Hospital opened its doors in August of 1965 on West Genesee Street, the result of much hard work by Dr. Richard Grambow and his partner, Dr. John Sonne. Dr. Grambow had been working as a vet in Mattydale when he began leasing an old carriage house, which was once part of the James Geddes farm. Mr. Geddes was one of the principal engineers involved in the building of the Erie Canal. In the beginning, the animal hospital was in the lower level, while Grambow's family lived on the upper floors.

In 1985 Dr. Grambow sold the practice to Dr. Sonne. Dr. Eileen Fatcheric and Dr. Suzanne Losito purchased the Hospital from Dr. John Sonne in July of 2002. Dr. Fatcheric worked at the Hospital as a vet assistant before attending veterinary school. She has practiced veterinary medicine at FAH since 1992. Dr. Losito has practice veterinary medicine at at FAH since 1988. Both Dr.Losito and Dr. Fatcheric studied veterinary medicine at Cornell University and graduated together in 1988. In 2012 the practice moved a few doors down to its current location which a 10,000 square foot state of the art facility, continuing the tradition of providing pets with exceptional quality veterinary care.
