Meet Our Staff

I am the founder and owner of Flowers Mill Veterinary Hospital. I was raised in Bucks County, where I attended and graduated from the George School. My dad was also a vet, so I've been around animals my entire life. I have always been fascinated by science and veterinary medicine.

After earning my BS from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, I went on to the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Upon graduation, I founded Flowers Mill Veterinary Hospital in 1977.

For many years, I was the principal veterinarian and pet surgeon, as well as the one who ran the business side of things. Over the years, other skilled veterinarians have joined the team as my associates. I remain active in running my practice and stay abreast of new developments in veterinary medicine. I am a member of several veterinary organizations including AAHA, AVMA, PVMA, and AFP.

I have been married to my wife, Debbie, for more than 30 years, and we have three adult children, and one grandchild. Our family also includes two dogs (an Australian shepherd and a golden retriever) and two rescue cats. I also devote time to animal welfare and charitable causes, including acting as a financial advisor to my church.

I grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I attended Holy Family College in Northeast Philadelphia before starting my veterinary education at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. During my time at Penn, I worked as a veterinary nurse in the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (now the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital).

After graduating in 2000, I worked in Allentown in a “cats-only” practice. There I developed my special love and interest for our feline friends. In 2004, I joined Flowers Mill Veterinary Hospital and now get to enjoy working with dogs as well as cats.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family as well as watching the Phillies, reading, and baking. I live in New Britain with my husband, Michael; three boys; and my Sheltie, Penelope. Penelope frequently comes to work with me, so you may see her hanging out with our receptionists behind the front desk.

Dr. Janice Goode was raised in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida and attended Florida State University, receiving her B.S. in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry in 1988.
While attending FSU, she worked in a genetics research lab at FSU and as a Zookeeper at the Tallahassee Zoo.  She moved to Wisconsin and received her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Wisconsin's School of Veterinary Medicine in 1994. 
Since graduating, she has worked in many small animal hospitals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and  Florida, caring for small mammal exotics and reptiles, as well as cats and dogs. 
She has also worked in several 24-hour emergency hospitals, and as a veterinary consultant for Bristol Myers Squibb. When she is not caring for your furry family members at Flowers Mill Veterinary Hospital, you can find her at a rock concert, spending time with family and friends, or on a flying trapeze. 
At home, she has 5 cats:  Oscar, Michael, Stormy, Vince Neil, and Lemmy.

Dr. Darryl Francomacaro graduated with honors in 1990 from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine

I first started at Flowers Mill Veterinary Hospital when I was about 13 years old as a nurse assistant in surgery. That is where my love for science really sparked and mixed with my love for animals. I eventually went to school at Harcum College and received my Associate's Degree in Veterinary Nursing. After graduating, I passed my boards and now I am a Certified Veterinary Technician. Additionally, I graduated from Manor College with a BBA in Veterinary Practice Management.

Out of the office, I have a husband and a fur baby, Koho (Black lab-mix). I love to watch sports (grew up playing ice hockey), read books, and go on hikes with my family. I am looking forward to meeting all our wonderful clients and their fur babies in the upcoming years!

I joined Flowers Mill Veterinary Hospital in 2000 as a receptionist and was later promoted to assistant manager. I received my associate degree from Bucks County Community College in 2003 and went on to attend West Chester University.

I like my job since I get to interact with patients, as well as form bonds with clients. Recently I have been acclimating to the role of bookkeeper, which is great as it lets me learn the ins and outs of the business. I have learned so much and really look forward to many years to come at Flowers Mill!

In my spare time, I enjoy vacationing to fun places, reading, and spending time with my friends and family, including my Bernedoodle, Stella Bella Snowflake (my kids named her), and my cat, Cleopatra.

I have been working for Flowers Mill Veterinary Hospital since I was 12 years old. I remember my excitement when I first started working here and that passion has not diminished since I joined the company as the Executive Assistant.

Prior to joining the Flowers Mill team full-time, I attended Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT, graduating with my BS in Marketing in 2016 and my MBA in 2017. 

As Dr. Widenmeyer’s son, I have had the pleasure of watching Flowers Mill grow over the years. I am thrilled to be a part of this hardworking team that has thrived on providing the best possible care for both our clients and their pets.

Out of the office, I love to play ice hockey, golf (a love-hate relationship), run Tough Mudders and Spartan Races, and I am an avid movie-watcher. I have a Doberman Pinscher named Winston (nicknamed Trouble) who has introduced a fun dose of chaos to the house, you will likely see him prancing about in the kennel yard or taking me for walks around Flowers Mill!

My goal is to continue Flowers Mill’s tradition of great service and I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
