​

​
Beyond his clinical work, Natale serves on the board of SUNY Delhi's Veterinary Technology program, sits on the editorial advisory board for DVM360, and serves as a FIGS ambassador — partnering with the brand to advance the presence and professionalism of veterinary medicine. He has been published in DVM360, Veterinary Financial, and the American Animal Hospital Association, People Magazine, and is an active member of the Long Island Veterinary Medical Association.
​
Outside of the clinic, you can find him surfing, working out, or spending quality time with friends and family.
Dr. Magnuson is a proud Long Island native, she returned home after graduating from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine to serve the community she loves.
​
With an energetic personality and a passion for running and hiking, Dr. Magnuson has always been drawn to the fast-paced world of emergency veterinary medicine. During her time at Veterinary Emergency Group, she cared for countless critically ill and injured pets, managing complex cases while supporting families through some of their most difficult moments. These experiences strengthened her commitment to providing not only exceptional medical care but also empathy, compassion, and reassurance when clients need it most.
​
One of Dr. Magnuson’s greatest joys is building meaningful relationships with her patients and their families. She believes that trust, communication, and genuine compassion are just as important as clinical excellence, and she strives to make every client feel supported throughout their pet’s care.
​
When she’s not caring for animals, Dr. Magnuson enjoys spending quality time with her husband, daughter, and their beloved dog, Gryffin. Whether she’s exploring the outdoors or relaxing with her family, she brings the same energy, warmth, and dedication to her personal life that she brings to every patient she treats.
Dr. Carmen Tan is an associate veterinarian at Opulent Pet Health with experience in both emergency medicine and in-home veterinary care. She is passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate care while building meaningful relationships with pets and their families.
​
Her background in emergency medicine has equipped her to confidently manage urgent and complex medical cases, while her experience with in-home care allows her to create a calm, personalized experience for both pets and their owners. Dr. Tan believes that trust, communication, and genuine connection are at the heart of exceptional veterinary medicine.
​
Outside of work, Dr. Tan enjoys spending time with her two dogs, Ava and Gib. During the summer, you’ll often find her relaxing at the beach, and in the winter, she loves snowboarding or traveling somewhere warm to escape the cold. She values staying active, spending time outdoors, and creating lasting relationships with the pets and families she has the privilege of caring for.
