The Cornerstone Philosophy
Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital of Clifton Park was founded in 1989 as Animal Care Hospital of Clifton Park. We began with 10 employees, 4 of whom are still working with us today. The name “Cornerstone” has special meaning to Dr. Knott and his family, both because it symbolizes their commitment to “faith, family, and then everything else,” and because it promotes the animal hospital as a cornerstone of the Clifton Park community.
Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital has been built upon a solid foundation of values and principles that guide our team in providing exceptional medicine and compassionate care on a daily basis.

Meet Doctors Alan and Lisa Knott
Doctors Alan and Lisa Knott Joined Animal Care Hospital of Clifton Park in 2015. Prior to settling in New York’s Capital District, they practiced on almost every species of animal for over nine years in Northeast Ohio. It didn’t take long for pet parents to find out about doctors Alan and Lisa Knott and their amazing team of caring and compassionate individuals.
Animal Care Hospital quickly outgrew its modest home and an expansion was necessary to accommodate the growing needs of pets and pet parents in the Capital District. Doctors Alan and Lisa Knott knew they wanted to be a cornerstone of the community for years to come, and so they opened Cornerstone Veterinary Hospital of Clifton Park in 2019.
