Dr. Roberta Haught
Dr. Haught is a native of Washington County, graduating from Frontier High School in 1986. She attended The Ohio State University from 1986 through 1993, receiving a BS in Animal Science with Honors in 1990 and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1993. Upon graduation she returned to Washington County to start her family and her career. She was privileged to work as a young veterinarian under the mentorship of Dr. David Spindler at Green Meadow Veterinary Hospital from 1993 until the fall of 1999. She then, with the partnership of her electrical engineer husband, Brian, pursued her dream of building and opening a new veterinary hospital - Colegate Woods Veterinary Hospital. Dr. Haught practices mostly small animal medicine, but does still see current equine and camelids patients. She lives with her family near Marietta. Two children complete the human side of the family; Daniel (20 years old) and Rebekah (17 years old). There are three dogs in the family; a ten year old Shih Tzu named Go-Go who accompanies her mom to work most days, a five year old Beagle, Grover, that was rescued from the Humane Society, and a three year old rescued Golden Retriever named Bella. There are also seven cats at home, all of which were rescues. Three of the cats were from bottle raised litters of Colegate Woods - Squeaker, Getty, and Petunia. Calla, Addie and Skully were rescued for various reasons while patients at the office. Rabbit the Cat, once a stray, rules the outside domain of the Haught house. Two horses round out the family - Shadow and Lucky. Dr. Haught enjoys spending time with her family and friends for fun. Her hobbies include reading, cooking/baking, playing the piano and enjoying the great outdoors.
