Introducing Our Team Members
Dr. Krisiti Darrow DVM
Veterinarian
At just five years old, Dr. Darrow told her family that she wanted to be a vet, and she’s been pursuing that passion ever since. A dedicated and high-achieving student, she earned a scholarship to Oklahoma State University, where she graduated with Honors and a B.S. in Biomedicine in just three years. She continued her journey at OSU’s veterinary school and has built a career she truly loves, caring for animals every day. Known for her compassion and commitment, Dr. Darrow goes above and beyond for her patients and their families, whether that means answering late-night emergency calls or making an extra trip to the clinic to check on a sick pet. She takes great pride in providing thoughtful, high-quality care to every animal she treats. Outside the clinic, Dr. Darrow enjoys spending time with her family, doting on her own pets, reading, and watching Disney movies. She’s also a proud mom of two wonderful daughters—now grown—whom many clients may remember as little ones happily roaming the clinic halls.
Brittany Ross
Receptionist
Brittany has been working at the clinic since 2015. She started out as kennel help and worked her way to assisting with the care of your pets in the back before eventually taking over as the most organized receptionist we've ever had. Brittany is our go to gal for crafty occasions and loves to love on your fur babies.
Kathryn Vaughn
Receptionist
Kathryn is our second receptionist at the front of the hospital. We've loved having her on our staff to support office work as well as veterinary assistance as needed. Kathryn is a wonderful mama of three beautiful children who keep her on her toes!
Krystal Kirkland
Veterinary Technician
Krystal is a veterinary technician with nearly 40 years of experience. She is Dr. Darrow's right hand, supporting laboratory testing and providing surgical assistance. She is essential in taking X-rays, administering anesthesia, collecting samples, and educating pet owners. In her free time, Krystal enjoys riding and showing quarter horses and caring for her giant tortoise.
Heather Williams
Office Manager
Heather is our front office lead. As Heather supports Dr. Darrow with accounting, payroll, administrative tasks, uniforms, and so much more, she is so very important to ensuring that Newcastle Animal Hospital runs smoothly. Heather became part of the family after being a home nurse for both of Dr. Darrow's parents and we never want to know a life without her.
Briana Stevens
Veterinary Assistant
Briana began her journey at NAH as a high school kennel assistant and, through hard work and dedication, has grown into her current role as a veterinary assistant. She plays an essential role in supporting Dr. Darrow and Krystal, stepping in wherever needed, whether that’s assisting in the treatment area, helping in exam rooms, or providing an extra set of hands throughout the clinic. Outside of work, Briana is a proud mom of one.
