Dr. Hallam grew up in Sussex County, New Jersey, spending most of her time at Sussex Veterinary Hospital.  There she observed her dad treat farm animals, companion animals and the occasional circus lion, elephant or skunk.  There was never a dull moment or a quiet holiday.  She received a BA degree from Amherst College and a VMD from the University of Pennsylvania.  Dr. Hallam joined Tri-State Veterinary in 1990, and in 2003, she took on the responsibility of managing the Tri-State Veterinary Medical Group.  Her goals are to ensure the welfare of her patients and clients by practicing high quality and progressive veterinary medicine and surgery.

Dr. Alex came to Tri-State Veterinary Medical Group in 2003 bringing with her over 20 years of veterinary practice experience. She originally hails from Long Island , NY and is a St. John's University alumnus. Her desire to become a veterinarian took her to Araneta University in the Philippines and the rest, as they say, is history. You may not see much of Dr. Alex in the exam room because her main focus is surgery.  Good quality care is her mainstay and with all the latest surgical monitoring equipment, sevoflurane anesthesia and drugs for pain management, "Life is Good in the OR!".

Dr. Tom Linfante grew up in Sussex County and is glad to be back in the area. He did his undergraduate studies at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania majoring in Biology, pre-clinical studies at Ross University in St. Kitts (Caribbean Island), and clinical studies at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. He has two cats, Sasha and Collin, which he adopted while in Virginia, and two dogs, Moe and JoJo, adopted in St. Kitts. Dr. Linfante also traveled to South Africa to work with rhino, zebra and wildebeest. Pictures are soon to be posted in our gallery. His special interests include ophthalmology, cardiology and surgery.
