Our Founder
We are in our 4th decade of animal healthcare, so we thought that sharing our history might be interesting for some.
Newberry Animal Hospital was founded in 1990 by Dr. Jeff Philpot in the small town of Newberry, just a few miles west of Gainesville. It began as a rural, mixed animal practice with a single doctor that really knew how to take care of people and pets. He loved beagles and fishing almost as much as he loved his clients.
​
As Dr. Baltzley looked for a place to plant his roots, he decided to partner with Dr. Philpot as they began to plan for future growth. Unfortunately, not much later, the beloved Dr. Philpot was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and passed away in 2008. His spirit is still a huge part of Newberry Animal Hospital and had an impact on everyone that knew him.
