Dr. Nicole Hanrahan is originally from Rome, NY. She first made her way to Western NY as a student attending SUNY Geneseo. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2020, she spent a year gaining hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant at a small animal general practice in Henrietta, NY.

Her next stop was the beautiful island of St. Kitts, where she attended Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 2025. Following the completion of her clinical year at Kansas State University, she finally made her way back to New York to begin her veterinary career at Brighton-Eggert.

Her professional interests include emergency and internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and exotic animal care. When she’s not in the clinic, you may find her traveling, spending quality time with her family and friends, or enjoying the outdoors with her island rescue pup, Poppy, a proud “coconut retriever” she adopted while living in the Caribbean.
