MEET OUR VETERINARIANS


Lewis Watson, DVM

Dr. Watson graduated from Cornell University in 1956, and then worked in a mixed practice in Connecticut for one year. In 1957 he started his own mixed practice, currently known as North Country Veterinary Services, P.C. 

Currently Dr. Watson works two days per week, primarily doing small animal surgery in Pulaski, and Scriba.  He is enjoying being able to spend more time with his family, which includes his wife, Antoinette; his four children, Lori, Jill, Christopher, and Kateri; Lori's husband Martin, and their two children Martin Jr. and Maquire: his three stepchildren, Tracey, Heather, and Michael; and Tracey's husband Jeff, and their two children, Taylor and Gino.

Dr. Watson's professional affiliations include The New York State Veterinary Medical Society, The American Veterinary Medical Association, and The Central New York Veterinary Medical Association.  In addition, he is a member of The Oswego County Health Committee; a board member for The Oswego County Humane Association; the vice-chairman for The Pulaski Fire Commission; a moderator at The Pulaski Baptist Church, a dispatcher at N.O.C.A.; and the chairman of The Pulaski Community Foundation.  Dr. Watson is also a former member and chairman of The State Board of Veterinary Medicine, and was a town councilman for The Town of Richland for 20 years.


Virginia Hoskins, DVM

Dr. Virginia Hoskins grew up on a small dairy farm in Lewis County.  She attended Veterinary Technical College at Canton ATC.  She then attended Cornell University as an undergraduate and also for Veterinary School.  Upon graduating from Cornell in 1995 she started working for NCVS. Her special interest is in dairy cattle although she does work in both of our small animal clinics as well. Dr. Hoskins, her husband Shawn, and son Jacob, live in Mexico, NY.


Suzanne Odre, DVM

Dr. Suzanne Odre grew up in Western New York.  She graduated from Delhi Ag & Tech. in 1985 and worked as a Veterinary Technician for a number of years.  She attended Cornell University both as an undergraduate and for Veterinary School.  She graduated from Veterinary School in 1997 and came to work at NCVS.  Dr. Odre can be found working in both the Pulaski and Oswego Offices and doing large animal work.


Jim Sprole, DVM

Dr. Jim Sprole grew up in Morris, a town in the Midwest along the Illinois River.  He completed his BS in Biology at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, MI in 1999.  Then, he worked as a herdsman in Valders, MI and obtained a technical diploma in Dairy Herd Management from Lakeshore Technical College.  At the University of Illinois he completed his DVM in May 2004 and started working at NCVS shortly after.  He was the vice president of the Production Medicine Club and received the Pfizer Animal Health Food Animal Scholarship.

His parents still reside in Morris, IL and his sister, Dorie, lives near Chicago with her husband, Steve.

He’s been named the Tug Hill Rookie by the farmers on the hill, so now his grip that he carries from farm to farm bears the letters T.H.R.  He is anxious to work with the dairy farmers of upstate New York and glad he moved to Pulaski.

Dr. Ariane Hamblin

Ariane Hamblin, DVM

Dr. Ariane Hamblin grew up in Williamstown, NY.  She received an associate’s degree from SUNY Cobleskill, then her bachelor’s degree from Cornell University.  She attended veterinary school at Kansas State University in Manhattan, KS and received her DVM degree in 2007.  During both college and veterinary school she worked at NCVS.  Now, she has come back as an associate veterinarian.  Dr. Hamblin enjoys working with both small and large animals and lives in Pulaski with her husband, Scott.
