  • Dr.
    Richard B. Clark

    I was born in Leesburg, as were my parents, and have grown up in Leesburg. I attended Leesburg High School and graduated from Lake Sumter Community College. I then went on to the University of Central Florida where I graduated with a bachelor's degree of Science in Biology. I attended Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and completed a one year clinical rotation at Kansas State University. I have worked at Northgate Animal Clinic since July of 1998 and purchased the practice in January of 1999. I have owned and raised Chinese Shar-Pei since 1987. Raising and showing my dogs is what gave me the love for caring for animals. I have been blessed over the years to have great clients, a dedicated staff, and supportive family and friends.  

  • Brittany

    Hello there, my name is Brittany! Ever since I was a little girl, I had a passion for saving animals. It seemed that they were drawn to me just as I was drawn to them. Flash forward to 2015, I began my dream job of working in veterinary medicine. I started as a full-time technician, learning the ins and outs of the field and with a lot of long days, some good and some bad and hard work, I was promoted to my current title as manager. This transition into management is to maintain a positive work environment. My love for this profession and my passion for helping animals and building trust with our clients, has helped me to get to where I am today. In 2017, I married my best friend, Michael. We have a beautiful adventurous little girl named Everleigh. We also have a very spoiled pitbull named Kado aka Pig and rescued a beagel named Hank, he fits right in to the family!

  • Ann

    My name is Ann. I was born and raised in a small town outside of Princeton, NJ. I was introduced to the love of pets at a very young age, when a tiny kitten showed up outside of our family home. My father, the wise man that he was, said, “ do not feed her or she wont leave”. Fluffy lived with us for 18 years, traveling throughout the lower 48 states and most of the Canadian Provinces. My work career started with horses, first with saddle-bred show horses, then at a standard bred breeding farm. In 1984, we moved to Florida along with 3 dogs, 4 cats, and one horse. I met my husband Ron in 1984 and we will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary in December. I started working at Northgate, with Dr. Young, in 1987. I was “sold” with the building when Dr. Clark bought the practice in 1999. I love my job here at Northgate, as a vet tech. I live in Lady Lake with my husband and 7 cats.

  • Tonia

    Hello Everyone! My name is Tonia. I started with Northgate Animal Clinic in 2016. As a child, I grew up on a farm and now I live on 10 beautiful acres where I have 4 horses, a lot of chickens and my 3 tiny dogs. Living on a farm as a child made me realize that helping and working with animals, small and large, is my calling.

    As a full-time tech here at Northgate Animal Clinic, I also have had the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of assisting with surgery. My goal is to give 100% in the care that each pet is cared for as if it were my own. I love the relationship that I have with each and every client and their pets, and again my goal as a tech is to make sure that every client leaves our office 100% satisfied. In my spare time and on the weekends, I go horseback riding, fishing and work on the farm and in my flower garden. I thank Dr. Clark and Northgate Animal Clinic every day for making my dream come true.

  • Tiffani

    Hi! My name is Tiffani! While I’m not caring for your furry friends here at Northgate Animal Clinic, I take care of my two beautiful young daughters, Piper and Paisley and my wonderful husband Chris on our farm in Eustis. We have lots of chickens, a few goats, a pig , a cat, a rabbit and fish! I'm a huge fan of football. Especially the Steelers and FSU! I also have a slight obsession with plants and all things outdoors! Have a great day!

  • Abigail

    Hello! My name is Abigail (or Abby as some people call me) I have always been drawn toward animals and pretty much everyone I knew thought I would someday work with them. In pre-school I even wrote down how I wanted to be working with animals as a career, well here I am living my dream! When I am not working I am mostly singing, writing, or doing something creative. At home I have two dogs. A lovable pitbull named Bleu and my sweet shih-Tzu named Marshmallow. I am so happy to be at Northgate and can not wait to meet all of your cute and lovable fur babies!

  • Brittany

  • Lauren

I absolutely adore animals, especially German Shepherds. I have grown up with them my entire life and I currently have two of my own.

  • "Wow! Thanks to all the staff at Anderson Vet Clinic. I feel like you all truly love what you do! My kitty, Lola and I always have such a pleasant experience when we come in. Fortunately, it’s usually just for a check-up, but I would not leave Lola in anyone else’s hands but yours. Thank you for your caring commitment!"

  • "I have benefited tremendously from the care my pet received from Dr. Anderson."
    John Doe / San Diego, CA
  • "Fabio wasn’t eating the food I was giving him and I didn’t feel he was getting the nutrition he needed. Thanks to Dr. Anderson, he evaluated Fabio and his current diet to make some recommendations and now Fabio has gone from barely eating to finishing his meals and he looks healthier than ever. You clearly are an expert in your field...thanks so much!"
