Our Doctors

Bri Letaw, DVM, Medical Director
About Dr. Letaw
Dr. Bri, as she is affectionately called by her patients, comes to us with 10+ years of experience. She has practiced small animal medicine up and down the east coast since graduating from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. Some of you may recognize her since she worked at Animal Hospital of Hinesburg about 5 years ago. She is glad to be back to general practice after doing a stent of emergency medicine for the last 3 years. Clinically, Dr. Bri has interests in urgent care needs of our patients and emergency surgery.
In her free time outside of work she loves to hang out with her two young boys and husband along with their black lab, Ryker. As a family they love to go hiking, swimming, skiing/snowboarding, camping, basically anything outside!

Kristen Guldbech, DVM
About Dr. Guldbech
Dr. Kristen Guldbech grew up in New Jersey. Before attending veterinary school, she got her Masters in Animal and Dairy Science at the University of Georgia. She then attended St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine in Grenada, West Indies. During her time in Grenada, she was part of a program that would travel around the island and help provide spaying, neutering, and veterinary care to the local pets most in need. After Grenada, she did her clinical year at Iowa State University. After a year in the Midwest, she missed the mountains and decided to move back to the East Coast.
Since beginning in private practice, she has made several trips with volunteer organizations dedicated to providing population control and rabies vaccinations to endemic countries to help in trying to reduce rabies cases worldwide.
Her special veterinary interests include internal medicine, theriogenology, and worldwide rabies prevention. In her spare time, Dr. Guldbech likes making pottery, knitting, traveling, hiking, camping, and cooking, especially baking. Kristen lives in Williston with her dog Squirrel.
