Why did you choose to become a doctor? I was born and raised in Red Lion.
    Throughout my life, I have had an interest in the science field and have always had
    a love for animals. After graduating from Red Lion Area Senior High School in
    1950, I attended Franklin & Marshall College. I got my degree in veterinary
    medicine from the University of Pennsylvania. Upon completion of veterinary
    school, I joined the Air Force and was stationed in France from 1957 - 1960. I
    have been in practice in Red Lion since 1960.
Hobbies - Woodworking, golf.

       Dr. Sabrina Walters - Associate Veterinarian

           Dr Walters

Started at PVH - June 2000
Number of pets - 1 dog, a mixed terrier  name "Stanley"
Why did you choose to become a doctor? I cannot remember ever wanting to do
    anything else. I have always been interested in animals and nature and also had a
    strong interest in medicine, so it seemed natural to combine these two loves into a
    career.

Dr. Nancy Winning - Associate veterinarian

Dr Winning

Started at PVH - April 2007
Number of pets - 6 horses and 14 cats
Why did you choose to become a doctor? From the early age of 6, I was always     
    fascinated with animals. Not just for their rewarding interaction and positive
    unconditional love: I found out I wanted to know more about 'what makes them 
    tick'. The combination of science and emotional interaction between pets and their
    owners was also challenging and I feel that's what makes my job so unique.


           Dr. Kevin Schmidt - Veterinarian
 
        

               
Currently serving an internship at a 15 specialty doctor practice in LA, California
                Number of pets - 2 dogs - Duke & Blue, both mixed breeds
                Why did you choose this profession? I grew up with veterinary medicine. My dad, Dr  
                    Douglas Schmidt, would take me to vet school with him. After he graduated, he  
                    would take me to work on Sundays and I was always captivated watching him as he
                    made the dogs and cats better. I always wanted to follow in his foot steps and be
                    able to care for animals as he has.
