Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Gaston lives on a small farm with his wife of 29 years and their four children. They raise grass-fed beef and pastured poultry, grow vegetables and delicious blackberries, and are attempting to produce edible fruit in a small organic orchard. Dr. Gaston received his doctorate in veterinary medicine from the Ohio State University in 1987. Having long desired to live in the mountain west, he had a plan to take and pass several state board exams in the western states so that, when the opportunity presented itself, he could immediately move into a new job. He started with Oregon, successfully passing the state board exam in 1988. In 1989, he obtained his license in Colorado by successfully completing the two-day state board examination. Because of the difficulty of maintaining current knowledge of all species, he did not continue with his plan to obtain licenses in five western states. However, after moving to the Cincinnati area, he obtained his license to practice in Kentucky.
