Dr. Sophia Gibbons

Veterinarian

Hi there! My name is Dr. Sophia Gibbons, I am originally from a small island in Canada called Newfoundland and I have wanted to be a veterinarian for as long as I can remember. It is incredibly rewarding to now have the opportunity to care for each and every pet that walks into my exam room and to be a part of the special bond that they share with their loved ones.Outside of the clinic, you can usually find me staying active and exploring with my German Shepherd, Ky. I love meeting new people, trying new things, and traveling whenever I get the chance. I feel very lucky that I get to do what I love every day and to help keep your pets happy, healthy, and thriving.

Sarah Van Staalduinen

Administrative Director

Sarah is an NC State graduate with double majors in Animal Science and Applied Nutrition. She has lived with animals her entire life and has always had a special place in her heart for them. She has been with the company since 2019, and she loves her job. Not only does she have the opportunity to meet new people and pets on a daily basis, but she also gets to help those fur babies stay happy and healthy with their families. Her favorite things to do outside of work include spending time with her furry kiddos; two dogs named Ochi and Denali, and two cats named Juniper and George. When she’s not at work, you can find her hiking with her dog, or taking part in any other activities in which she can include them.

Caitlin O’Neil

Administrative Director

Hello! My name is Caitlin, and I have been with Prince George’s Animal Hospital since 2017. I started out as a receptionist and after being with this practice for a year, I was promoted to Manager and transferred to our sister location, Capital Boulevard Animal Hospital. I absolutely loved the experience of opening a new clinic and getting acquainted with all of the rescues.

I am excited to start my new role as Client Coordinator with the company. I have always loved working with clients and making sure the owner and furbaby have a positive experience. In my free time, I am with my 2 human kiddos as well as my own furbabies.
