After dating while in college, Robert and Dr. Beddoe were married the summer of 2001, during the few weeks of break between Dr. Beddoe's first and second year of veterinary school. Robert has been an active part of Dr. Beddoe's education and experience. He would come into the teaching hospital to help Dr. Beddoe with her treatments while she was in school. He then assisted in emergency calls and surgeries when she began practice and still does. He also has been an important part of the care that is given to our guests that board with us over the weekend. He enjoys giving them the attention and the exercise that keeps them wanting to come back and stay with us again! This experience has given him a breadth of knowledge that has abundantly equipped him to assist you and your pets at the front desk as head receptionist. When he isn't at the office, he enjoys an active lifestyle that includes biking, rock climbing, fishing, and swimming.
