Originally from West Virginia, Dr. Shelley Gothard grew up in North Carolina and is a 2000 graduate of North Carolina State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Since moving to Naples, Dr. Gothard’s work experience has included both general veterinary practice and emergency medicine. A self-professed “kitten addict”, she does have a fondness for the feline persuasion. However, with having Jack (aka- the best dog in the world), she cannot help but love the canine companions as well.
