Our Doctors

Emily Crawford is the founder and owner of Waterbury Veterinary Hospital. She is Fear Free certified. She received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from The Ohio State University in 1999, fulfilling her childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian. During veterinary school she worked as an emergency equine technician and also as a research assistant studying cancer treatments in dogs and people.

 

After receiving her veterinary degree she received additional training at the Angell Animal Medical Center of Western New England during a year-long internship. She moved to Vermont in June, 2000 and has practiced here since.  She opened Waterbury Veterinary Hospital in 2011.

 

Her specific areas of interest include oncology, feline-specific diseases, pain management and geriatric care.  She enjoys challenging medical cases and prides herself on Waterbury Veterinary Hospital's level of quality care. When not practicing medicine at WVH she enjoys gardening, mountain biking, and Nordic skiing.  She lives in Waterbury Center with her husband Nolan, kids Sophie and Evan, dog Otter, and cats Hank and Willow.

Becci, a native Burlington Vermonter, always dreamed of being a veterinarian. In 2001 she received her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Purdue University. Dr. Becci is Fear Free certified. 

 

She has been in small animal practice in Vermont ever since. Becci and her husband John, a fellow veterinary classmate, live in Charlotte with their two children Miles and Hadley, cat Tonks and new puppy Sprout. In her free time Becci enjoys reading, cooking and skiing.

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. 

​Dr. Becky Jimerson grew up in Charlotte, Vermont and went to Champlain Valley Union High School before attending Brown University. She later earned a master’s degree in international affairs from George Washington University and spent 16 years working for the U.S. Department of Defense.

 

Her journey back to Vermont has been almost as long as she is short, with adventures that included living in Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Illinois, and New Hampshire, before ultimately returning home. Becky completed her veterinary degree at the University of Illinois and is excited to be coming back to Vermont as a veterinarian, to be part of the community, helping out her four-legged neighbors and getting to know their people.

 

Outside of work, Becky enjoys skiing when there’s snow, hiking and walking outdoors, gardening, pottery, science fiction, and spending time with her dog, Riker, and her many nieces and nephews.

Dr. Emily Sanders-DeMott earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Ross University in Saint Kitts and completed her clinical rotations at Purdue University in Indiana. One of her favorite parts of veterinary school on island was volunteering with one of the campus clubs, providing low cost spays/neuters and preventative care for the local community. Pictured above is her island pup, Toby, whom she met during her first month of school and adopted as soon as she was able.

Dr. Emily’s professional interests include surgery, neurology, and behavior, and always has a passion for educating clients on their own pets needs. She grew up about 50 miles north of New York City and dreamed of caring for animals for as long as she can remember. She went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a minor in Zoology from the University of Vermont. During her time there, she fell in love with the state and ultimately decided to make Vermont her home.

For six years, Emily worked as an assistant at a small animal hospital, further fueling her passion for the profession while working toward her goal of becoming a veterinarian. She is thrilled to return to the Green Mountain State and enjoy all it has to offer. Outside of work, Emily loves hiking, exploring Vermont’s many water spots, spending time with her two nieces, and is eager to try a new hobby.
