About Burke Animal

Our Story: A Passion for Animals, A Commitment to Excellence

Burke Animal Clinic was built on a foundation of passion, experience, and a deep love for animals. Led by Dr. Linda Schilkowsky, our team has decades of combined experience in veterinary medicine. Dr. Schilkowsky’s journey began in mixed-animal practice before she transitioned into small animal medicine and emergency care. Her extensive experience working in some of the finest veterinary hospitals in the country has allowed her to bring a wealth of knowledge and innovative approaches to Burke Animal Clinic.

In 2013, Dr. Schilkowsky seized the opportunity to take ownership of the clinic, continuing its legacy of outstanding pet care. Since then, our mission has remained steadfast: to provide expert veterinary services while fostering strong relationships with pets and their families in our community.
