Dr. Becca Flinchbaugh joined Patton Veterinary Hospital in June 2022. Dr. Becca says that she had wanted to be a veterinarian since kindergarten and she…wanted to combine [her] passion for animals with [her] love for science. Dr. Becca states, “I enjoy the fact that veterinary medicine allows me to pursue my interests in radiology, surgery, internal medicine, and preventive medicine all in the same day. Veterinary medicine is not just about the pets, but also about the people who own these pets. I found that I enjoyed interacting with owners and being able to educate and help them create a better life for their pets.”
A graduate of Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Becca is also a York native and alum of Dallastown Area High School. She returned to Pennsylvania after spending 8 years in Mississippi “to see if this is where I am supposed to be,” and to be closer to family and friends, especially her sister and nephew. She enjoys volleyball, reading, vanilla iced coffee, Marvel movies, and spending time with family and friends and with her dog, Moose, a Great Dane. She aspires to travel to Australia, Italy, and Ireland in the future.
Her favorite quote by country music artist Paul Brandt is, “Don’t tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon.” We want her to grow and soar, but we are so happy Dr. Becca has kept her feet on the ground and chose to return to her hometown to be a part of the Patton Veterinary Hospital team, practicing excellent veterinary medicine.
