New England Veterinary Ophthalmology

Drs. Alario and Montgomery have provided veterinary ophthalmology care in New Hampshire since 2014

Our Approach & Values

Our commitment to veterinary ophthalmology extends beyond our love of animals and our specialization in ophthalmology. As a privately owned, “boutique” ophthalmology practice, we are able to be creative and adaptable in treating eye problems. We consider each patient’s unique needs and will take the time to find a treatment plan that is best suited to you and your pet. We also have a strong sense of community and collaborate with your primary care veterinarian to ensure the well being of your pet. Our ophthalmology team is small but talented, so you will see familiar faces at every appointment and will work with team members who are familiar with your pet’s needs.

Anthony Alario

DVM, DACVO

Dr. Anthony Alario is originally from New Jersey and completed his undergraduate degree at Rutgers University. Anthony obtained his veterinary degree from Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine and remained at Tufts to complete a one year internship followed by a three year residency in comparative ophthalmology. During his eight years at Tufts University, Anthony published many peer-reviewed articles in the field of veterinary ophthalmology. He has also had the privilege of speaking on the topic of veterinary ophthalmology as an invited speaker to veterinarians around the country.

Much of Anthony’s research is in the field of non-invasive imaging techniques of the eye; however, he has a strong interest in glaucoma and diseases of the lens as well. What Anthony enjoys most about ophthalmology is the variety of species he has the
opportunity to work with and the many unique ocular adaptations each animal has developed.

Anthony lives with his better half, also a veterinarian, and their three boys. They share their home with many animal friends including three cats, two dogs, two horses, chickens, ducks, turkeys and honeybees. The whole family loves the outdoors and loves living in rural New Hampshire.
