No stranger to the Doylestown Animal Medical Clinic, Dr. Bates had spent time here shadowing Drs. Mantell and Sporer while still an undergraduate in college. She graduated from Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2000 after attending Bucks County Community College and Florida Atlantic University for her pre-veterinary studies.

After graduating veterinary school, Dr. Bates did an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Mississippi State University from 2000-2001 to prepare her for a residency in veterinary emergency and critical care. She practiced in Kentucky then moved on to Texas where she began her family and worked in both emergency and general practices for the last seven years. Dr. Bates returned to her hometown of Bucks County in May of this year and is ecstatic to have returned to her old stompin’ grounds of DAMC.

Dr. Bates has a special interest in feline medicine and emergency medicine and a special fondness for Siamese cats. In her spare time, Dr. Bates runs after her two toddlers and enjoys music, outdoor activities, and catching up with her friends and family. Her furry children include two cats and two dogs, all of which were rescued. Dr. Bates hopes to one day live on a farm with her human children, furry children, cows, horses, goats, and ducks.
