  • Stacey Nassauer


    Stacey joined NRAC upon Dr. Antiaris’ acquisition of the practice and has been working alongside her for the past 8 years.  Stacey is responsible for all managerial aspects at the clinic while also tending to patient care. Stacey graduated from SUNY Purchase in 2011 with a degree in Psychology, but has been devoted to the veterinary field since 2012. 


    When not working, she shares her life with her beloved schnauzer, Bradley, enjoys spending time with friends, keeping Starbucks in business, going to the beach and traveling.

  • Yohanna Ordonez


    Yohanna started working with Dr. Gardner in July 2015 with no prior veterinary experience. She was hired as the clinic’s receptionist (and Spanish translator) due to her studies in business and bookkeeping, but Yohanna’s love and enthusiasm for animals led her to become a veterinary assistant. 


    With Dr. Antiaris’ arrival, Yohanna is learning about other living creatures (aside from dogs and cats) and enjoys being a part of this team. She has even turned her love at work into a side job offering dog-walking and dog-sitting services.

  • Ariel Segura


    Ariel, our most recent addition to NRAC, comes with vast previous veterinary experience. But, despite working in the field for years, it is Ariel's earliest memories of he asking his mother to save every animal that crossed his path that are the most impressionable. Ariel knew from that early age his future would be in animal care. 


    NRAC is grateful to round out its team with his competence and energy. Whether he will be tackling 100 pound pups or feral cats, Ariel is always ready to dive in (with a smile and a giggle!) and learn all aspects of the practice - anything that Dr. Antiaris can show him. Ariel is a proud foster cat father and is always willing to offer his home for an animal in need.

  • Dana DeLio


    Dana is fully-immersed in all aspects of the clinic and confidently displays all that she has eagerly learned while at NRAC. Graduating from the University of Connecticut in May 2018, with a B.S. in Animal Science, Dana started just two months later working for Dr. Gardner. Dana has stayed on with Dr. Antiaris while studying to become a Veterinarian.  


    As she awaits her acceptance into Veterinary school, aside from work, Dana likes to spend her time outdoors running and hiking, and also loves to travel.

  • Cindy Cafagna


    Cindy, a Licensed Veterinary Technician, is no newcomer to the veterinary field. With 15 years of experience and counting, she has known and worked alongside Dr. Antiaris for many years in a multitude of settings - hospitals, rescue groups, and more. Having started as an assistant in high school and continuing on to college for her licensure, Cindy now finds herself bringing to NRAC many specialized skills, in particular anesthesiology and clinical lab work, to name a few. 


    When not taking care of her patients, Cindy has 3 adopted pitbulls and 5 cats of her own to spoil and love. 

  • Jodi Levine


    Jodi, a Licensed Veterinary Technician, made the leap into veterinary care 8 years ago after having been an elementary school teacher with degrees from Michigan State and NYU. Her career change was motivated by Jodi’s love of animals and her calling to care for them. Jodi and Dr. Antiaris have worked together over the years, but their volunteer work had them traveling together to Houston in the wake of Hurricane Harvey tending to countless animals abandoned and afflicted by the storm. 


    Empty-handed was not how they left though, as both Jodi and Dr. Gina walked away with dogs of their own. Nutmeg accompanied Jodi home and became the sister to her furry feline, Fatty. In her spare time, Jodi loves traveling and running-and Nutmeg now likes to join too!

  • Dr. Melissa Antiaris


    Melissa graduated with her doctorate in clinical psychology from the Forest Institute in 2008.  She has a private practice on premises and facilitates a pet loss support group at NRAC. You might also see her at the front desk and answering your phone calls when she’s not busy with her two dogs and cat.  


    Melissa enjoys spending time with her family and friends and exploring new travel destinations.

  • Clara


    Clara is thrilled to be a part of the staff at NRAC. She is head of Security, but also greets the patients with a warm welcome. Clara is the Queen of detecting sunspots, and is happiest trying to eat plants, sitting on (or in) cardboard boxes, and sleeping in Dr. Gardner’s chair.
