Meet the Staff


Mary Ruth

Mary Ruth Hi, my name's Mary Ruth. I have worked at the Indian Head Animal Hospital since June 1991, first as a veterinary technician and since 1996 as the office manager. I have worked in the veterinary field since 1982 and it has been a wonderful career.

It has been a real pleasure to work here; the veterinarians and the staff have empathy and compassion for our patients and each other. Additionally health and retirement benefits prove that the owners care about their employees' welfare.
 

Dana

Dana My name is Dana, and I have worked at the Indian Head Animal Hospital since June of 1988. I live with my mom and dad, my two older sisters, my three-year-old daughter and our many pets. We have four dogs: one Chihuahuas, named Pepper, two German Shepherds named Misty and Rocky, and a huge Rottweiler named Foots. We also have two birds, an African Grey named Sailor and a Conure named Conrad.

As you can see, I love animals and I love working with and caring for animals. I learn something new every day at the Indian Head Animal Hospital. I have on several occasions nursed and raised newborn kittens; I have helped care for many sick and injured pets; and I have help with cesarean sections and many other medical and surgical procedures.
 

Kathea

Kathea My name is Kathea and I am a receptionist. I have been working at the Indian Head Animal Hospital since 2003. I enjoy working here because I love working with animals, I love people and I love working with my sister, Gwyn.

Dr. Eric and Dr. Andrew Gofreed were our family veterinarians so I have known about the Indian Head Animal Hospital most of my life. My beautiful white cat was actually adopted from here.

I enjoy working with animals, even the uncooperative ones. I am married and I have 5 "kids": 3 cats, a dog and a bird.

I always wanted to work at the Indian Head Animal Hospital. As a child I dreamed of working here. I guess you could say I have my dream job and I am very happy here. Oh, my sister Kathea works here too.

Dawn

Dawn My name is Dawn. I work here as part of the technician team. The most rewarding part of my job is comforting sick animals and helping them feel better. I have a long commute to work, but I don't mind because I love working here. I have three pets; a horse name Cheyenne, a dog named Sierra, and a cat named Sheba. I enjoy long rides on Cheyenne and lively stroll with Sierra. My job is challenging and rewarding, and the doctors and staff are all very friendly and caring like a loving family.
 

Sean

Sean Hi, my name is Sean, from Boston Massachusetts, I live in Fort Washington area and I am a ward attendant. My job is to care for the animals while they are in the hospital. I make sure they are well cared for. I enjoy working with the animals. Feeding, washing, and walking them can be a handful at times, but I take great care of the animals. I keep their cages clean and help monitor their appetites and physical condition while boarding. I also bath dogs and cats and assist the doctors and technicians when I am needed. We have a great staff and we take pleasure in caring for all the animals and meeting all their needs.
