 J. Chris Mixon, DVM, and the staff of Newtown Animal Medical Center (NAMC) have announced that Lindsey K. Westerfield, DVM, has accepted the position of associate veterinarian.

A Redding native and 2007 graduate of Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr Westerfield joined NAMC as an intern in July of that year and advanced to her present position in April 2008. She is looking forward to meeting and caring for many of the NAMC patients.
