Robert C. Potter, DVM (Owner):
Dr. Potter received his doctorate of veterinary medicine at Colorado State University in 1978. For eleven years, he served both in the U.S. Airforce and the U.S. Army as a military veterinarian. During his military career he was stationed in Georgia, New Mexico, Guam, and finally here in New Jersey at Ft. Dix. In February 1989 with the rank of Major, Dr. Potter left active duty and returned to civilian life here in Vernon, New Jersey. Since its inception, Dr. Potter has been the treasurer and a board member of the Wantage Dog Park Association. He lives in Wantage with his wife Diane Bauman. Diane is a professional dog trainer and author of books on dog training. They share their home with multiple dogs, cats, two goats, and a herd of sheep. When he is not with the animals at home or in the clinic you can find Dr. Potter at Sussex Airport flying and working on his antique airplane.
Scott Gaydos, DVM (Owner) :
Dr. Scott Gaydos began observing with Dr. Potter when he was 13 years old. He began working at Vernon Veterinary Clinic as a veterinary assistant at the age of 17. After high school, Dr. Gaydos attended N.C. State University where he received a bachelors of science in animal science. He then attended Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in St. Kitts in the West Indies. After completeing his clinical training at Auburn University he practiced in New York as a mixed animal veterinarian for 2 years before returning "home" to Vernon Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Gaydos' interests in veterinary medicine are small and large animal surgery and equine medicine. Known for his "heart-on-his-sleeve" approach to caring for his patients you will often find him playing on the floor with his patients. In his free time, he enjoys watching/playing hockey and playing poker. When he's not working you can find him at The Blue Sky Ranch Parachute Club in Gardiner, New York jumping out of perfectly good planes.
Jeryl A. Spencer, DVM:
Dr. Spencer received her doctorate of veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 1994. She lived and worked in Cincinnati, Ohio for 10 years before moving back east and joining Vernon Veterinary Clinic in 2004.
