Dr. Kurt Blaicher grew up in Morris Plains, New Jersey, and attended the University of Pennsylvania ('77), where he earned a degree in Biology and also started at left offensive tackle for the Penn Quakers Varsity football program. He graduated first in his class from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine (Go Vols!) in 1982 and has worked in New Jersey since graduation. Dr. Blaicher and his wife, Susan, owned a successful practice in Plainfield from 1987-2007, which they later merged with a larger local hospital. Missing the smaller hospital atmosphere and practice ownership, they are now extremely energized and happy to have the opportunity to open Blaicher Veterinary Health Care in Bedminster.

Dr. Blaicher is a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, with Board Certification in canine and feline practice, and serves on the ABVP Credentials Committee. He also serves on the Practitioner Editorial Review Board of the veterinary journal Compendium. He is passionate about all aspects of private practice, particularly soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, internal medicine, and canine reproduction.

When not at the hospital, Dr. Blaicher relaxes by windsurfing, skiing, cooking, playing guitar, traveling, target and defensive shooting, ballroom dancing with Susan, and engaging in all aspects of photography. He is a member of the Stewartsville Presbyterian Church Choir, and he and Susan are long-standing volunteers with Meals on Wheels in Warren County. Although their children are grown, their house is still full with three dogs, two cats, two cockatiels, and a Hanoverian horse.

Dr. Ellen Levitian was born in Russia and moved to the United States at age five. From a young age, she developed a passion for animals and was determined to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. She earned her undergraduate degree in Pre-Veterinary Animal Science from Rutgers University, followed by her veterinary degree from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, completing her clinical year at North Carolina State University.

Dr. Ellen is committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care for your four-legged family members, with a strong focus on client education. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her pets, Ariel (a Black Labrador Retriever) and Morgan Mufasa (an Orange Tabby Cat), as well as horseback riding, traveling, lounging by the pool or beach, and exploring new foods and wines.

Dr. Kellie Daly, originally from New Rochelle, NY, earned her degree in Neuropsychology from Binghamton University (SUNY-Binghamton) and her veterinary degree from the University of Missouri in 2002. Since then, she has practiced small animal medicine in New Jersey. Dr. Daly first met Dr. Blaicher in 2010 at Plainfield Animal Hospital, and she is excited to be reunited with him at Blaicher Veterinary Health Care.

Dr. Daly is the proud mother of her young son, Kyle. Her home is also filled with pampered pets, including cats, a dog, fish, and a boa constrictor. Outside of work, she enjoys binge-watching Netflix, baking, knitting, reading, and spending quality time with her family. She often says, "I am thrilled to be part of the Blaicher Veterinary Health Care family of friends!"
