Dr. Oona S Gayle was born in Jamaica, WI. At a very young age, she informed her family that she would be an Animal Doctor one day, which her family believed since she was frequently found with rabbits, cats, chickens, and dogs. At the age of 7, she moved to the United States of America. She obtained her BS in Laboratory Animal Science from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, NC, in May 1991. In 1996, she graduated from Tuskegee University, College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Gayle has practiced as an Associate, Relief Veterinarian, Public Health Veterinarian (FSIS), and practice owner. She enjoys soft tissue surgery and consultation on difficult cases with the immediate Board-Certified Veterinarians in and around the Charlotte area [citation].
