Dr. Wes Spangler is the Medical Director of TotalBond @PawCreek. He came to us from our Forestbrook Hospital in Gastonia, where he was an Associate Veterinarian for 2 years. Dr. Spangler is originally from a small beef cattle farm in southern Virginia, outside of Roanoke. His time on the farm shaped his passion for animals that would become lifelong. He completed his undergraduate work at Virginia Tech, then moved on to Veterinary School at Ohio State. After finishing Veterinary School in 2017, he made the move to the Gastonia area to join the TotalBond team. He is passionate about the fields of Cardiology, Oncology, and Surgery, as well as providing understandable, yet thorough, client education. Outside of work, Wes spends much of his time outdoors – hiking, biking, kayaking and more with his newly adopted dog, Shadow. He also enjoys watching and playing music, exploring the area with friends, or just relaxing with his cat, Rikku, while watching Game of Thrones.
