Meet Our Veterinary Team in Toledo, OH

Doctor
Since 1988

“Originally from Port Clinton, I attended The Ohio State University from 1980-1988, majoring in Zoology before Veterinary school. I joined RRAH immediately after graduation and became a partner in 1995. My special interests include Internal medicine, Surgery, and Dentistry. I have been active with the local Toledo Veterinary Medical Association, serving on the board and as president twice. My hobbies include sailing, swimming, home remodeling, and OSU sports, especially football. And spending time with Dan, my husband of 22 years, an art dealer, is currently the director of the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society and Museum in Put-In-Bay, Ohio.

We have two cats, Atticus and Thurber, Siamese mixes, and the most spoiled cats in Toledo.

Doctor

Dr. Roger grew up in Toledo, attending St. John’s High School. He received his Bachelor of Science in zoology from Miami University in 1993 and his veterinary degree from Ross University in 1998. He specializes in internal medicine, geriatric diseases, and orthopedics. Hobbies include soccer, exercise, and Texas Hold Em. He currently lives with his wife, Bricia, two sons, Nicholas and Matthew, and two cats, Baby and Henry.

Dr. Jason Sands was born and raised in Findlay, OH. He graduated from Cory Rawson High School and then The University of Findlay, in 2017, with a BS in animal science and biology. He attended Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine where he obtained his DVM degree in 2021. Dr. Sands has always had a passion for working in the animal industry from a young age and being a veterinarian for a year has confirmed he is living his dream. Dr. Sands provides top-tier care for his healthy and ill patients and is looking to expand his skills in both orthopedic surgery and the use of ultrasound for enhanced diagnostics.

Dr. Sands is recently engaged and planning on marrying the love of his life, Amy, next fall! His hobbies include golfing, weightlifting, playing pool, and hiking with his Aussie, Hope. Dr. Sands is excited to be joining Reynolds Road Animal Hospital where he can be of service to both clients and their best friends!

RVT
Since May 2006

“I’m a 2006 graduate of Stautzenberger college. I have an Associate of Applied Science degree in Veterinary Technology. I completed my internship here and was lucky to be offered a job shortly after. I enjoy being outdoors, watching movies, and spending time with my family and friends in my spare time. I currently have a handsome collie name, Charlie!”

RVT
Since May 2013

“I graduated from Stautzenberger in 2012 and started my job at RRAH shortly after. I enjoy reading in my spare time and spending time with my family. I enjoy helping with surgery.

I have one adorable cat named Willow, whom I love. I also enjoy helping out with my parent’s dog, Daizy.”

RVT
Since July 2017

“Hi! My name is Tasha; I am a 2017 Veterinary Technician graduate from Brown Mackie College in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I reside in Napoleon, Ohio, with my high school sweetie Josh and our ZOO! RRAH is my first job in the veterinary field, and I love it so far; I started as an Intern here through school and decided to stay! In my free time, my hobbies include riding four-wheelers, grooming dogs, and napping.

My favorite part of my job is sending pets home feeling much better!

I have three dogs: Remi, the black lab; Demo, the pit mix and Maris, my Chihuahua. I have four cats: S-Rock, Beans, Mollie, and Stella. I have two ferrets: Bandit and Miley. Finally, I have a rabbit named Ronnie, and a goldfish. I love all my pets so much!”

“My life has been totally about working with animals which have allowed me to have great pet industry jobs. I started training dogs at the age of 8. This helped me manage a major dog kennel that proved interest in sales of pet supplies. These jobs allowed me to travel the country. As life throws curveballs, I got married and had 2 amazing children. I have enjoyed coming off the sales road and now enjoy working at RRAH. I also returned to dog training.

Boomer is a Golden Retriever. He is trained in tricks, tracking, triball, obedience, and confirmation. He is my demo dog for training classes. He knows how to make you laugh. He also helps my mother with jobs around the house. He and I love to try new things in dog sports. We also have 3 other goldens that share the farm.”

“When she is not being a Veterinary Assistant, Vern loves taking naps and putting her studio art degree to use by drawing cats. Her favorite vegetable is pizza, her favorite book is Return of the King, and her favorite Dio song is Rainbow in the Dark. She is constantly defending her heavyweight high-five champion belt and her right to have dessert before dinner.

Pocket is an 80-pound shepherd mix who is afraid of her own shadow, and Belmont is the mean cat we don’t talk about. Fortunately, they all DO get along.”

Veterinary Assistants
Since September 2020

“Hi, I’m Taylor, and I’ve been a Veterinary Assistant at RRAH since September 2020. I’ve worked with animals since I was eight, showing goats in 4-H. I have my certification in Veterinary Assisting, and I’m studying for my Veterinary Technician Associates Degree in Applied Science at Ashworth College. My favorite part of my job is seeing patients come back happier and healthier. I live in Toledo, Ohio, with my boyfriend Joe and our two lab mixes, Lulu and Jax. In my free time, I love sketching, reading, games, camping, hiking, gardening, and being outdoors. In the future, I hope to become an RVT specializing in wildlife rehabilitation.”

Maintenance Technician
Since April 1999

“I am a hard, dependable worker, and I am easygoing. I like working with others. I have been married for over nine years to the most beautiful woman in the world, Kelly. I enjoy working with wood, cutting grass, playing Wii games, and going to church in my spare time.

We have a black cat named Thor. He is a little over a year old and likes keeping us on our toes.”

Feline Staff
1999-2019

In 2019, Meredith crossed the rainbow bridge. Our staff and clients deeply miss her. Princess Meredith will always hold a special place in our hearts.

“The first owner of RRAH, Dr. Tom Young, was going to give me to his niece. However, when Dr. Young brought me to the hospital, he realized I got such style and grace to the practice. I just had to stay. I can be seen grooming myself when I’m not greeting clients. My job here is to keep everyone in line and to add beauty and class to the environment. My hobbies include napping, posing, being petted, being adored, and looking at Joey with disdain. One day I hope to take over the practice.

I have several human pets that I have trained to meet my every need.”

In Loving Memory

Our RRAH family has torn apart with bad news in early 2017. We lost one of our valued employees, Kellie.

Everyone knew Kellie with a massive smile on her face and a big hug waiting for whoever needed it. She cared for patients as if they were her own and genuinely held our work family together. We are all deeply heartbroken and will cherish her forever.
