Learn Who We Are

Dr. Teena Waltman DVM, MS

Veterinarian / Owner
Dr. Teena L. Waltman, DVM, MS grew up near Chicora, PA and graduated from Butler Area Senior High School in 1984.  She received a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Slippery Rock University in 1990.  Prior to attending Veterinary School, She received a Graduate Student Assistantship to attend Penn State University.  She received a Masters degree in Pathobiology there in 1993 and her research focused on the effects of bacterial toxins on birds.  Dr. Waltman then attended Purdue University, School of Veterinary Medicine and developed an interest in both Companion and Exotic Animal Medicine.
Upon graduation from Veterinary School, in 1997, Dr. Waltman returned to Pennsylvania to practice Routine, Emergency and Exotic Animal Care at Metropolitan Veterinary Centers South and West which are located in Dormont, PA and Robinsion Twp., PA.  After 11 years at Met Vet, She then worked 1.5 yrs as a Emergency Room Physician at Pittsburgh Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center (PVSEC) which is located on Camp Horne Rd. in Pittsburgh.  
However Dr. Waltman missed Small Animal practice.  So from 2010 to 2017 she became a Relief Veterinarian for Lighthouse Veterinary Personnel Services.  In that organization, she worked and travelled extensively providing Routine, Emergency and Surgical Care at multiple Veterinary Practices in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.  
Through her Relief Veterinary work she met Dr. Paul Eismann.  And, in 2010 she began occasionally seeing patients and performing Surgeries at Deer Creek Animal Hospital.  She eventually began working full time at Deer Creek following Dr. Eismann’s unexpected passing in May 2017.  She then purchased the Practice in the fall of 2017.  
After almost 26 years of practicing Veterinary Medicine, she enjoys helping people and their pets through the diagnosis of challenging cases and by providing routine, emergency, surgical, exotic and companion animal care.  Dr. Waltman also enjoys family time, volunteering at her church, traveling, gardening, playing golf, swimming, and spending time outdoors.  She especially enjoys walks and playing ball with her Golden Retriever (Jax).  She also shares her home with her 4 cats ( Saltie, Roo, Annie, and Licorice)  and her African Grey Parrot (Lenore).

I have brought my cats and dogs to Deer Creek since I can remember. They are caring and kind people who always have the animal's best interests in mind. They do not hesitate to refer to other clinics if the situation is something they do not or cannot handle. They are wonderful!

Thank you to all of the Deer Creek staff, you were all so kind and compassionate. Yesterday our cat Rico went over the rainbow bridge and I couldn’t have hoped for a better team to be there for us all ❤️ thank you!
-Racquelle
The vets & staff treated me and my cat well, fully explaining what they were doing and answering questionsm. I also liked that they understood my financial situation and helped me save some money instead of trying to force unneeded products on me. Highly recommended.
-Bonnee
I recently got a puppy and was asking around about a good vet. I heard good things about everyone here from a few friends. I have now been there twice with my puppy and won't go anywhere else. The office is clean and doesn't smell, everyone is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The vet seems to really care about all of the animals that go in. I would recommend this vet to anyone.
