Dr. George L. Hartenstein IV is the son of the late Hill Street Veterinary Hospital founder Dr. George L. Hartenstein, III. Dr. Hartenstein is primarily a large animal clinician. He has been traveling around York County attending to the needs of our local farmers since his graduation from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968.

Once-a-year, he travels out west to participate in the Native American Veterinary Services (NAVS) program sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania. Through NAVS, volunteers provide veterinary services to the farm and companion animals of Native Americans who would otherwise have access to little or no veterinary care.
