Dr. Sabrina Walters is a native Pennsylvanian, born and raised in the Harrisburg area and, with a love of both medicine and animals, she always knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. A graduate of East Pennsboro Area High School, she went on to earn a BS in Biology from Slippery Rock University. Dr. Walters earned her veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in Philadelphia and began working at Patton Veterinary Hospital shortly after graduating from veterinary school in 2000.
Dr. Walters currently resides in Red Lion with her husband and a terrier mix named Marty. She enjoys all aspects of her work in veterinary medicine, but has a special affinity for soft tissue surgery and caring for senior pets. Dr. Walters frequently volunteers with Junior Achievement of South-Central Pennsylvania promoting STEM and other educational programs, and she also enjoys volunteering at other community events such as Dog’s Day in the Park.
She loves to travel and she and her husband have made it a goal to visit as many of our National Parks as possible. Crater Lake, Glacier, and Bryce Canyon have been a few of her favorites and Alaska’s Denali is still on the bucket list. Dr. Walters also enjoys amateur photography, walking and hiking, and movies and reading, especially books and films of the horror genre. Her favorite movie is An American Werewolf in London and she once met Stephen King, her favorite author, so it should be no surprise that her favorite holiday is Halloween! Dr. Walters dabbles in creative writing and writes the weekly blog for Patton’s website and Facebook page.
Helping clients care for their pets from puppy- and kitten-hood through the end of their senior years is the most rewarding part of being a veterinarian. Dr. Walters feels blessed to have been able to pursue her dream job, and she is thankful to be part of such a welcoming practice and community for so many years.
