    Dr. Schwartz is a 1979 graduate of the University of Veracruz, Mexico. After graduation, he gained experience by completing his internship in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. Dr. Schwartz worked in NJ for 5 additional years until he decided to move to Pennsylvania where he founded Clarks Ferry Veterinary Hospital (CFVH) in Duncannon. Over the next 20 years, CFVH steadily grew until a larger facility was necessary to maintain the established quality of service and care. In fall of 2007, Dr. Schwartz relocated his practice and built Cove Mountain Animal Hospital. Dr. Schwartz is an active member of the Pennsylvania Veterinary Medical Association. His professional interests include preventative medicine, internal medicine, dentistry, soft tissue and orthopedic surgery. In his free time, Dr. Schwartz enjoys fishing, hunting, boating, weekends by the fire pit with good friends, listening to 50's and 60's music, and simply being outdoors.
