Meet The Team
Dr. Barbara Winslow, DVM
Science Geek meets Softie…
I love what I do.
I love always having new things to learn, new understandings of the body, and new treatments to support my patients.
I love that I get to spend my days working with and helping the critters I love (even the cranky ones!) They are all fascinating to me – huge dogs or tiny dogs, happy cats or less-than-impressed cats, rodents, reptiles, ferrets… they all give me a little “Aaawww!” twinge.
My goal is always to be on board with you, the pet’s caretaker and best friend. You are the one who knows your pet best – I need to listen to you to get a complete understanding of what is going on. You are the one who will follow through with managing that pet’s care, whether through actions (ear cleaning, tooth brushing), feeding, giving medications. You are the one who will see whatever differences are occurring in your pet’s health, for good or for ill.
I look forward to working together with you, towards the mutual goal of a healthy and long life for your pet!
