Dr. Gabrielle Wimmer has been an Upstate New Yorker for her whole life; born and raised in Central NY, went to undergrad at Houghton College in Western New York, Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine(c/o 2022) in the Finger Lakes, and now practices in the Mohawk Valley. She knew she wanted to be a veterinarian from a young age, and always loved farm animals. She now sees a variety of species (ie cattle: dairy and beef, horses, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens, llamas, alpacas, pigs, deer, etc) as an associate at a pretty traditional mixed farm animal ambulatory practice, working in both production and pet settings (also does some small animal spay/neuter relief on the side and small animal at home euthanasia). She enjoys living in a quiet rural area with her husband and their three cats: Merry, Lucy, and Tumnus.
