Dr. Francie L. Rubin is a 1989 graduate from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine. She began her career as a veterinary technician in 1974, knowing that her passion for the
care and welfare of animals would only be realized by practicing veterinary medicine. In 1985, she entered veterinary school and has never looked back.
“Going to veterinary school is my greatest accomplishment. I can’t think of a more rewarding
career.” In addition to practicing conventional medicine,
Dr. Rubin is trained in veterinary homeopathy. She is a graduate of Dr. Richard Pitcairn’s Professional Course in Veterinary Homeopathy.
Dr Rubin founded Rockledge Veterinary Clinic in 1994
in a small building on Sylvania Avenue. In 2003, she purchased “that old house behind the trees” and while keeping the integrity of the Victorian structure, turned
it into a modern veterinary clinic.
Dr. Rubin travels twice a year to Arizona and New Mexico with a group of veterinarians who donate their time to spay, neuter and provide veterinary care to the pets of Native Americans (Americans For Native Americans). “This opportunity to give back is extremely fulfilling.”
Dr. Rubin lives in Rydal with her partner of 20+ years, her beloved dogs Gemma and Hopi and a few chickens.
Besides taking care of my patients, the best part of my job is working with the best staff in the world.
