Natasha Welch
Originally from San Diego, California, Dr. Welch spent most of her life in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She is a proud “Double Hokie,” having earned both her Bachelor of Science in Animal and Poultry Sciences with an emphasis in companion and laboratory animals and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine.
During her veterinary training, Dr. Welch participated in two mission trips to Nicaragua, experiences that deepened her passion for veterinary service and sparked her interest in surgery. Her primary professional focus is small animal surgery, and she plans to pursue a residency in this discipline to further advance her skills and expertise.
Outside of the hospital, Dr. Welch enjoys binge-watching shows like House of the Dragon, The Pitt, and thought-provoking documentaries. She also loves spending time with family and her two dogs, Jenny and Bentley.
