Dr. Scott N. Gounaris graduated from the University of Florida Veterinary School in 1982. His lifetime love for animals drove him to choose veterinary medicine as he wanted to help animals that could not help themselves. Dr. Scott Gounaris enjoys the teamwork that we and the pet owners employ to work together for the welfare of their pets. The greatest reward for him is a positive outcome for his patient and their owners. With over 40 years of experience in the veterinary field, Dr. Scott Gounaris has seen it all. Prior to opening Pleasantville Animal Hospital of Fallston, he worked for his father, who was also a veterinarian. Now the father of a recent veterinary school graduate, a current veterinary school student, and a college graduate, he has shared his love of the profession with the next generation of Gounaris doctors. As a resident of Fallston for more than 20 years, Dr. Scott Gounaris is very proud to serve our community. He felt confident that we could save this little kitten's leg by placing a steel pin through the fracture pieces to reunite the bone, as shown in the post-operative x-rays of Miracle, an 8-week-old kitten with a broken femur [citation][3].
