After graduating from SUNY Binghamton with a B.S. in biology, she attended St.George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine where she was a member of the charter class. She spent the first 10 yrs. of her career under the mentorship of Dr. Carreras where she developed her clinical and surgical skills on a vast majority of animals ranging form the feathered to the furred. Dr Pugliese also spent 8 of those years as the Veterinarian for the Staten Island Zoo. During that time she provided medical and surgical care for a menagerie of animals including reptiles, amphibians, a variety of primates and mammals, birds, farm animals and fish. She treasures every moment she can spend with her family, 5 cats, and Penny the bulldog mix. Dr. Pugliese built Eltingville Veterinary Practice to continue practicing personalized, quality and compassionate veterinary medicine.

She graduated from New Dorp High School in 2002 and is currently enrolled in the online Veterinary Technichian program at Cedar Valley College.She has worked with Dr.Pugliese and many of the other staff at Eltingville Veterinary Practice for nearly a decade.

In the mean time she’s passionate about all domestic animals, from furry to scaly to feathered. She has a perfect dog named Hank and a sly little tuxedo cat named Coraline at home and hopes to have many more in the future.
ToniAnn Chiusano
Veterinary Assistant
In another life, ToniAnn is pretty sure she was a crow — she has a love for collecting all things shiny and unique! Her fascination with animals began at a young age (she was certain she’d grow up to be LavaGirl when she was five) and has only grown stronger over the years. ToniAnn has a special love for reptiles, especially snakes, and enjoys expanding her knowledge of exotic species.
At Eltingville Veterinary Practice, she brings a blend of curiosity, compassion, and care to every patient she meets — whether they have fur, feathers, or scales.
Maria C. Hagan Bruce
Veterinary Assistant
If Maria could have one superpower, it would be the ability to talk to animals — just like Dr. Dolittle. Understanding their thoughts, needs, and feelings would be a dream come true (especially since she’s convinced her own dogs are stand-up comedians who spend their days roasting the family).
Maria is the proud mom of two pit bull–Staffy mixes and a senior chihuahua. Her experience spans a wide range of species — from horses, reptiles, and birds to fish, dogs, and cats — and her passion for animal care continues to grow as she pursues her degree to become a Veterinary Technician.
Since joining Eltingville Veterinary Practice, Maria has found inspiration in the compassion and dedication of her teammates. She’s grateful to work alongside such a knowledgeable, like-minded team and takes pride in helping ensure that every patient — and their human — receives the individualized care they deserve.
Emma Petro
Client Service Representative
The best advice Emma’s ever received is: “No one can do it for you, but if you ask for help, people can do it with you.” That spirit of teamwork guides her every day.
If she could invent a holiday, it would definitely involve coffee and cats — two of her favorite things. Though she loves all animals, Emma proudly claims her title as the resident “crazy cat lady.”
The most rewarding part of her job is seeing even the sickest animals make a full recovery. If she were a superhero, she’d want the ability to speak with animals — though she admits her small but feisty energy makes her more of a chihuahua at heart. As a child, Emma dreamed of being a marine biologist or veterinarian (until she realized swimming wasn’t her strong suit!). Today, she’s living that dream through her work at Eltingville Veterinary Practice.
Jennifer St. Pierre
Client Service Representative
Jenny was born and raised in Staten Island, NY, and now resides in North Brunswick, NJ with her fiancé and her beloved fur babies. She is the proud owner of two pit bulls—an American Pit Bull Terrier and a Blue Nose Staffordshire Bull Terrier. After discovering her passion for animal care through rescue work, Jenny is currently enrolled in Veterinary Technician school and is excited to continue building her career in the field.
