Meet Our New Veterinarians
With the move from 923 N Kenmore to 3838 Cathedral Lane, there have been lots of changes. Some of these changes include new veterinarians and the return of some old friends.
Dr Erica Barron will be on maternity leave so some of the veterinarians will be here part-time.
Sam Gilbert, VMD
Dr Gilbert will be working with us during the week. He will be primarily doing surgeries and urgent care. This will help us be able to expand these services to you.
Dr. Sam Gilbert earned his Bachelor’s of Science in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics from the University of Pennsylvania. He stayed on at Penn, where he earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2015. After veterinary school, Dr. Gilbert completed a one-year small animal rotating internship at Hope Advanced Veterinary Center in Vienna, VA. He also had an additional year of surgical training. Originally from Vienna, he now lives in Arlington, VA, with his wife, Annie, and their cat Calvin.
Tyler Anderson, DVM
Dr Anderson has been working with us on Saturdays. He has helped us expanded our Saturday hours. He does not work with us during the week.
Dr. Anderson was born in San Diego, CA but he has lived in Arlington, VA since attending Yorktown High School. He wanted to be a veterinarian at an early age and worked at McLean Animal Hospital as a kennel assistant to gain experience in the field. His interests include ultrasound, cardiology, and rehabilitation.
Dr. Anderson attended Marist College and the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in Blacksburg, VA. He came back to practice at McLean Animal Hospital upon graduation. He developed a special interest in imaging and now practices as a traveling sonographer for MiVU. Dr. Anderson works here at NOVA Cat Clinic only on Saturdays.
Dr. Anderson continues to live in Arlington with his four pets, a labrador/boxer mix named Leo, a golden retriever named Ryder, and his cats Mr. Boo and Charlie . During his free time, Dr. Anderson enjoys hiking with his dogs, cooking, and snowboarding.
Felix Fernandes, DVM
Dr Fernandes has worked with us for years. He is coming out of semi-retirement to help us while Dr Barron is out on maternity leave. Many of you will be as happy as we are to see Dr Fernandes return. He is very camera shy and we will try to get a picture later.
