I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Biernacki. I will always remember Dr Okay okay okay. May you rest in peace. You touched many lives and by far the best vet around. Condolences to the family.
I was so shocked to fear of Dr. Biernacki’s passing. He was Ruby’s vet for nigh on 15 years. Such a caring, thoughtful and knowledgeable guy. God bless
Andrew will always be remembered by us as a guy that was always full of life and a compassionate sort of guy. Once you met Andrew you would never forget Andrew. Sincere condolences to the family and friends alike.

Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest Condolences
Here lies a great man who has left a wonderful legacy behind.
He was larger than life and he lived it to the fullest.
Now that he has gone may all the beautiful memories be a blessing to you and your family. Please accept our sympathies for losing your husband.
Sending my heartfelt condolences to Dr. Biernacki’s family.
It’s a truly shocking and tragic loss.
Dr. B was so much more than just Sadie’s “vet”. We had long wandering conversations and talked about all the things, not just Sadie. I saw him at least once per month for almost 17 years and whenever I had some crazy idea about addressing any of Sadie’s health issues he was supportive, always. He was gentle and kind with both of us and when he saw her decline he tried to prepare me the best he could. When the pandemic hit, his practice was the only place I frequented both out of necessity for Sadie and because it was a safe place.
When Sadie passed, I couldn’t bring myself to go to the clinic because I knew I would break down. I finally felt “strong” enough and when I walked in, he gave me the biggest warm hug. We talked and shed a tear and he assured me I had done the right thing. This meant the world to me and made Sadie’s passing less painful. Before I left, he gave me another hug. I was grateful for him for many reasons, not because of the excellent care he gave Sadie throughout her life but also for the extra mile he went for me. I just simply adored him.
He shared his life with me through pictures and stories and lessons. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren and the little sanctuary he built on the lake. He shared his love of hunting and told me all about the process of getting your certification in Poland. He taught me how to make Kefir for Sadie’s tummy. He was glowing the last time I saw him and shared that he felt he had left his practice in good hands. He had just got a new puppy and was looking forward to spending his time at his second home, hunting and having family gatherings. He curated such a beautiful life.
I feel lucky to have met him.

I am deeply saddened at Andrej’s passing. He was a wonderful vet who expertly diagnosed my dog with a rare condition, which other vets could not pinpoint and this saved her. I looked forward to vet visits and enjoyed our chats in Polish. I could tell he loved his work and had a kind heart.
We are so sorry to hear about Dr. Biernacki’s passing His caring expertise
was greatly appreciated by our family and we are sure that our pets loved him and will miss him.

I was sad to hear the news, such a wonderful man, I feel very lucky to have known him through the Vet Clinic and to have met you at Buck Lake. So many great memories of his big smile and laughs, my Dad and brother enjoyed hunting with his as well.
Our thoughts are with you,
