Dr. Holly Barton

Dr. Holly F. Barton received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in May of 2008. While in veterinary school, she was an active member of the Food Animal Practitioner's club, serving as the small ruminant representative. Although primarily focusing on small animals during her senior year, she developed a strong interest in working with cattle, sheep, and goats throughout her veterinary career. 
           Prior to attending veterinary school, Dr. Barton attended Swarthmore College, where she studied Russian and played both varsity basketball and volleyball. Her first job out of college was teaching Algebra to high school students in Brooklyn, New York.  
           Having grown up in beautiful Nelson County, Dr. Barton is excited to return to the area. Currently she lives in Charlottesville with her sweet Beagle, Nia, and her two cats, Tachi and Pumpkin. She is very interested in all species although she really enjoys working with sheep and goats. Neurology is also a special area of interest. In her free time, Dr. Barton likes to read, garden, and play volleyball. She is also hoping to start taking dressage lessons again.
