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. Megan Brown, DVM -  Associate Veterinarian

Dr. Brown

Started at PVH - July 2005
Number of pets - 5, Daphne and Fred both Great Danes, Scrappy and Mittens are domestic short hairs and Rise a Bengal
Why did you choose to become a doctor? After never having pets growing up, my first kitten dies of distemper. the loss I felt following those few short days with her was immense. At that point I began to look into a career in veterinary medicine to help others avoid the hurt of losing a pet with high quality medical care and a peaceful good-bye when the time comes.

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.
