Our Veterinarians
Dr. Nathan Baxter
Dr. Nathan Baxter was born and raised in a small town in northwest Illinois. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Animal Sciences from the University of Illinois, graduating with high honors, and went on to receive his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine.
Following graduation, Dr. Baxter served for a year and a half in the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps in central California, after which he spent three years working for the U.S. Army Veterinary Services in Puerto Rico at a naval base. He later relocated to Southern California, where he worked in small animal private practice for four years. Dr. Baxter eventually moved to Cincinnati, practicing in a private practice and emergency hospital setting for approximately two years before purchasing Cat Care Hospital. He has now been proudly serving the Cincinnati community and practicing feline-focused medicine at Cat Care for over 30 years.
As the practice owner, Dr. Baxter is deeply committed to providing high-quality veterinary care and fostering a clinic culture centered on excellence and respect for the human–animal bond. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Baxter enjoys working and training his Labrador retrievers and pursuing his passion for ballroom dancing.
