Dr. Rommel is the owner of
Millersville Animal Hospital, where he has practiced since 2001. He

Dr. Rommel grew
up in Arnold and attended Broadneck High School. He continued his
education at the University of Maryland, earning his bachelor's degree in
Zoology in 1990. He went on to earn his veterinary degree from the
University of Pennsylvania in 1994.
Dr. Rommel initially
practiced companion animal medicine in Pennsylvania and Western Maryland
before returning home to Anne Arundel County. He was an associate
for five years at Pasadena Animal Hospital before joining with Dr. Rodgers
(when the hospital was called Benfield Animal Hospital) in 2001.
Dr. Rommel is active

guitar and piano. He is also an avid cyclist, who enjoys biking
around Kent Island and the Eastern Shore. He lives in Stevensville
with his wife Jen (who is also a veterinarian), children Shannon and Nathan, and pets that include one
dog, two guinea pigs, four cats and several marine critters.
Timothy
S. Trigilio, DVM 
Dr.
Trigilio joined the team at Millersville Animal Hospital in the summer
of 2002. He sees
appointments and performs surgery during the week, and alternates weekends
with the other doctors.
Dr. Trigilio earned his
bachelor's degree in Biology from Washington & Lee University
in 1998, then went on to earn is veterinary degree from Virginia-Maryland
Regional College of Veterinary Medicine (VMRCVM) in 2002.
Dr. Trigilio lives in
Annapolis with his wife Sarah, who is also a veterinarian in Anne Arundel County. They
share their home with four cats and a rescued dog, Elli.
Elli spent the first few
days of her rescue at Millersville Animal Hospital,
with an uncertain future. With a little coaxing, Dr. Trigilio and Sarah
decided the cats would just have to live with a dog, so they took her
home! You can find Elli (and her owners) at one of the
dog parks in
Anne Arundel County, like Broadneck or Annapolis, where she loves to play. Dr.
Trigilio is always equipped with an emergency kit in case one of Elli's
friends gets hurt, so don't be afraid to ask him for help.

mathematics from the University of Richmond in 1996 and graduated with her
