They also enjoy traveling as a family and spending time on the beach.
Teresa Rosa
Hailing from Massachusetts, Teresa moved to Vermont as a young adult to train horses. Horses were introduced early in her life and, as they say, the rest is history. Teresa has a bachelor’s degree in Equine Science from Williamswood University. She started with the practice in May of 2021 and has been an asset to our team. Outside of work, Teresa enjoys spending time with her partner, hiking with their dogs, cooking, eating, traveling and going to the beach.
Amy Vogel
Amy resides in Maryland, she first met Dr. Wagner as an associate veterinarian in Pennsylvania in 2012 where they worked together. With over a decade of veterinary practice management experience and a lifetime with horses, Amy is bringing new light to the business side of things. Amy started working part time in early 2023 and is looking forward to expanding her role here. In her spare time, she can be found camping or just enjoying the outdoors with her husband and 2 children.
Robert Wagner
"Robbie" is a Vermont Native. Born in the wild, he was rescued by our very own, Sam Sequist. Sam took time to tame the wild, ferocious beast that was our feral Robbie. He has come a long way from his origin in the woods and seems to be adjusting to the working-man lifestyle. Monday - Friday you will find him at the clinic working hard to keep the printer protected, the staff comforted and the rodent population non existent. In his free time he enjoys the outdoors along with the creature comforts of the couch. We feel lucky to have Robbie as a part of the team and cannot thank him enough for his tireless efforts!
