A Bit About...

Cecelia Gill - Business Manager
Karen Hansen - Office Manager
Patty Tankus - Receptionist

Cecelia Gill - Business ManagerCecelia Gill - Business Manager

Cecelia Gill has worked along side her husband, Dr. Thomas Gill since he began veterinary college in 1980. Since opening Brookside with her husband, she has worked in every area of the practice, including veterinary assistant, lab technician, inventory manager, financial officer, and now practice manager, while raising seven children in the process!

She has a degree in Art History and a Museum Minor from SUNY Geneseo and continues to have a strong interest in the areas of historic architecture and historic preservation. Locally she is a member and supporter of the Seward House and the Auburn Historic Preservation Society.

She and her children fight over who the family's dog, "Janie" loves best, and whether their cat, "Tony" will ever learn to answer to his name as opposed to just the sound of the food container being opened.

She and Dr. Gill originally hail from Binghamton, NY, but they both have fallen in love with Central New York as a great place to raise a family.

Karen HansenKaren Hansen - Office Manager

Karen Hansen was one of the first employees at Brookside Veterinary Clinic back in 1988. She left after two years to stay at home and raise her family. She recently returned in January 2006.

Karen is an integral part of Brookside. She handles scheduling for all the large animal clients as well as the clinic's book keeping.

Her pet family in the past has included birds, a Samoyed named, "Tasha", a Shih Tzu/Maltese named "Mickey", and many cats. Karen's pet family now includes "Minnie", a Cairn terrier, and "Carla" the cat. Minnie was a very active puppy, with many surgeries, so ask Karen about pet insurance!

Karen enjoys spending her free time watching her children's sporting events, reading, and working in her yard.
