Beecher Watson

Medical Director

Dr. Watson is a 1982 graduate of The University of Pennsylvania, with undergraduate studies at Penn State University, and the University of Maryland. After spending the first 10 years of his practice life developing embryo transfer and cryopreservation in the bovine species in the mid-Atlantic states, his next venture took him into a small animal practice which he purchased, and sold after 5 years to "Healthy Pet". After helping Healthy Pet manage three practices in the Richmond, Virginia area, and then working as an associate in private practice, Dr. Watson went to work for Banfield Pet Hospitals in central Virginia. He initially began there as the senior surgeon servicing five hospitals, and then as Chief of Staff over two hospitals: Colonial Heights and Williamsburg. Dr. Watson has also worked some relief shifts for at VCA New Kent Animal Hospital. Dr. Watson enjoys working with people through mentoring, and helping them achieve their personal goals. In his down time, Dr. Watson enjoys time spent with his family, on or near the water, avidly reading and drawing. His family consists of wife Donna, sons Chip and Winn, and his daughter Anna. Most importantly, his pets include Wubse, a 5 year old portly feline, and WooWoo, an 8 year old Old English Bulldog.
