Practicing in this immediate area for greater than eleven years has enabled Dr. Kidd to form strong relationships with many of the specialists and referral centers in this region. If intensive or emergency care is needed, these relationships will allow a rapid and smooth referral process.  She has also dedicated countless hours to the Chester County SPCA to help sick, injured, and abandoned animals in the area.

Since 2000 Dr. Kidd has lived in Unionville with her husband, Greg Suplick, and their three dogs, Dharma, Gibson, and Nick.  She also has two young cats, Popeye and Clarence, and a 22 year old kitty named Alfalfa.  Dr. Kidd is the proud mother to three adorable children, 8 year old Emilea, 6 year old Noah, and 4 year old Nathaniel.
