Meet Our Team

Owner/Veterinarian

Dr. Pamela Shapiro

Dr. Pamela Shapiro is originally from Massachusetts and received her Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 2007. She worked as a veterinary technician, for the founder of Ragged Mountain Animal Hospital, Dr. Toby Kimm,  for 2 years before starting Veterinary School. She attended Iowa State University and completed her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 2013. After graduation, she rejoined the team at Ragged Mountain as an Associate Veterinarian, until September of 2016. She then worked at an emergency hospital in Connecticut for four years. In December of 2020, she was asked to rejoin the Ragged Mountain family to help alleviate her friend and mentor Dr. Kimm.  Then, in August of 2021, Dr. Shapiro purchased Ragged Mountain Animal Hospital, with a mission to keep Ragged Mountain a family oriented, small town feel hospital. She strives everyday to make Ragged Mountain a place where everyone is respected and cared for. It is her passion to keep your furry family members happy and healthy.  She particularly enjoys surgery and  supporting our clients and patients through some of their hardest days. 

When she is not practicing medicine she is spending time with her husband, their two young children, and pets. She has a one year old chocolate Lab, Figment "Figgy" who is just a barrel of energy and love, she also has two cats, Billy and Smitten. Smitten is a special needs kitten who was brought to Dr. Shapiro in very bad shape, Dr. Shapiro and her family adopted Smitten and nursed her back to health. She also loves to bake, read, and sing.


Associate Veterinarians

Dr. Anne Falbowski

More to come.

Dr. Ashley Bedarf

Originally from  Massachusetts, Dr. Bedarf attended the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, for her undergraduate studies before moving to Ohio. It was at the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine that she obtained her Veterinary Degree. Following graduation, she practiced mixed animal medicine in Ohio for four years and then returned to New England to be back with her family.

Even though she loved practicing large animal medicine, she missed home and now spends her days treating dogs and cats. She sees her job as two-fold; treating the animals while simultaneously strengthening the bond between owners and their beloved pets.

When she isn’t caring for others' fur babies, she is spending time with her two cats named Bruiser and Luther. Bruiser’s primary interest is food; his life’s work has been finding food, regardless of the cost. Luther, however, prefers to spend his time snuggling on the couch.

When she is not saving lives, Dr. Bedarf spends her time rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding, and Zumba.


Office Manager

Danielle

Danielle received her Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science at the University of Connecticut in 2013. She worked as a kennel assistant at Ragged Mountain starting in 2010, quickly became a veterinary technician, and  worked her way up to Office Manager in 2017. She really enjoys animal behavior,  and  is passionate about giving the patient's the best care, by educating clients to give their pets the best chance for a long and healthy life. When she is not at her home away from home Ragged Mountain, she can be found spending time with her husband, their two small kids, and small zoo. Her zoo consists of three dogs, a Golden Retriever, Gryffindor, an Australian Cattle dog mix, Boomerang, and an Australian Shepherd, Darwin, who manage to sneak his way into becoming the hospital's emotional support dog. Darwin spends his work week lounging in the back offices of Ragged Mountain, ready to snuggle with any staff member who needs it. Along with the dogs are her three cats, Kiah, Jarvis and Pepper, a parakeet, Kwazi, a russian tortoise, Tortuga, a saltwater tank, and ducks. When she is not taking care of her small zoo, she also loves to coach her children's soccer teams, disc golf, photography, and hiking.
