Associate Veterinarian
Dr. Watson joined the Hayfield Animal Hospital team in June 2024. She has had a lifelong passion for animal care and a diverse background shaped by her upbringing as a military brat. Born in California and raised in Virginia and Pennsylvania, she developed resilience and adaptability early in lifeā€”traits that now serve her well in veterinary medicine.
She earned her undergraduate degree from Shippensburg University, where her love for science and animals took root, and went on to pursue her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Purdue University. Her clinical interests include surgery, ophthalmology, and client education.
At home, she enjoys the company of her cat, Tadashi, and has a not-so-secret soft spot for all things Patrick Swayze. Whether she’s in the exam room or unwinding with a classic 80s film, Dr. Watson brings warmth, dedication, and a touch of charm to everything she does.
