Dr. Howard Gregory started a practice in an old gas station in downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia, in the 1950s. In about 1960 he moved the practice to a new building at 2301 Jefferson Davis Highway which he named Confederate Ridge Animal Hospital because the building is located in the community of Confederate Ridge.
In 1967, Dr. Alan Witter graduated from the Cornell University Veterinary School and became an associate of Dr. Gregory’s, subsequently purchasing half of the practice after several years. The practice was originally both a small and large animal practice, as Fredericksburg was a relatively rural area in the 1960s. At that time, there was mostly livestock and dairy farmland.
Dr. James Dunlap became an associate in 1972 and bought Dr. Gregory’s half of the practice in the early eighties. Dr. Dunlap and Dr. Witter opened Potomac Ridge Animal Hospital on Rt. 205 on the way to Colonial Beach in the mid 1990s. In 1997, Dr. Witter and Dr. Dunlap separated the two practices and Dr. Witter began construction of the current building behind the original Confederate Ridge Animal Hospital.
Dr. Newman is a 1988 Virginia Tech Veterinary School graduate and has been on staff as an Associate Veterinarian at Confederate Ridge since 2004. Jessica Keaton, LVT has been a happy member of the Confederate Ridge Team since summer of 2002.
In January 2018, with great enthusiasm, Dolores Newman, DVM and Jessica Keaton, LVT announced their new ownership of Confederate Ridge Animal Hospital. We thank Dr. Witter for entrusting us to carry on the practice of caring for and healing patients built through hard work and dedication. We wish him the best of luck as he moves on to farming in Missouri.
Confederate Ridge has a fantastic group of hardworking, loving ladies and gentleman. More than half of our team has worked here for over 10 years.
