Dr. Julia Gatto

I grew up in Hawthorne, New Jersey, and knew from 4 years old that I wanted to be a veterinarian. I attended Delaware Valley University in Pennsylvania where I got my bachelor’s degree in Small Animal Science before relocating to Oklahoma to pursue my veterinary degree at Oklahoma State University as part of the class of 2026.

During my time at OSU, I developed a strong passion for exotic animal medicine, as well as cardiology and ophthalmology. I’m also very interested in animal behavior and am currently working toward becoming a Fear Free Certified veterinarian and a Certified Feline Friendly practitioner. Even though I have special interests, I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine and love caring for a wide variety of patients.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, baking, and reading. I also love spending time with my fiancé and our five pets: two cats, two cockatiels, and a corn snake.
