Dr. Gail Newcomb ~ November's Vet of the Month

A wagging tail in the waiting room. A happy reunion after a hospital stay. A cat back to their usual opinionated self. For Dr. Gail Newcomb, these are the moments that make veterinary medicine worth it. We're proud to name Dr. Newcomb our November Vet of the Month. 

Where Science Meets Heart 

Dr. Newcomb's love of animals got her started, but it was her passion for science and solving complex problems that made veterinary medicine the perfect fit. Along the way, she found her favorite ways to put those interests to work: surgery and emergency medicine. 

That combination of skill and curiosity shows in every case. When a pet needs answers, Dr. Newcomb digs in, thinks it through, and builds a plan to help them feel better. 

The Best Feeling in the World 

Ask Dr. Newcomb what she loves most about caring for pets, and her answer is all about seeing them get back to being themselves. 

"I love helping pets feel better and seeing their personalities come back. My favorite moment is watching a pet excitedly reunite with their owner in the waiting room to return home after a hospital stay. It's the best feeling in the world." 

For families, those reunions are just as meaningful. Knowing your pet is in skilled, caring hands makes a hospital stay a little easier, and the homecoming that much sweeter. 

A Team Worth Celebrating 

Dr. Newcomb's favorite part of working at PWC is the people. She describes the team as "an eclectic, passionate group that truly cares about our patients and each other." 

She also loves mentoring others and sharing what she's learned with her colleagues. Every lesson she passes on helps our whole team deliver even better care to the pets who count on us. 

Fun Fact: Two Future Vets in Training 

Dr. Newcomb has twin daughters who are her mini-me's, and both say they want to follow in her footsteps and become veterinarians! It's easy to see where they get the inspiration.
