I'm Dr. Greg Matthews. Originally from Pemberville, Ohio, I graduated from Eastwood
High School in 1968. I earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from The Ohio
State University in 1975.
After graduation, I started a mixed practice in Bowling Green, Ohio, and practiced
there for 9 years. The next year was spent working at Select Embryos, Inc., in Plain
City, Ohio, doing Embryo Transfer work on cattle. In 1986, I purchased Dr. Russell
Miller's veterinary practice in Republic, Ohio and a year later I opened the Fremont
office in the Potter Village Shopping Center. In 2009, we moved into our new facility
just north of Fremont at 2180 Dickinson St.
I very much enjoy private practice and working with both large and small animals.
I am a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Ohio Veterinary
Medical Association, the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, the International
Embryo Transfer Society and the Society For Theriogenology and regularly attend
continuing education meetings.

Hi! I am Dr. Julie Matthews and I started working full time as a veterinarian at
our clinic in July 2009. Growing up I spent many years working at the clinic assisting
in the office.
I graduated from Tiffin Calvert High School in 1998 and earned my Bachelor of Arts
degree in Communication from The Ohio State University in 2002. I spent a year working
as an Admissions Counselor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Soon I realized
I really wanted to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine. I went back to college
and earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in June of 2009.
I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine, but have a particular interest for soft
tissue surgery in both small and large animals. I am a member of the American Veterinary
Medical Association and the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association.
I currently have a Golden Retriever named Bella, but would like to add to my animal
family soon.

I am Marilyn Matthews and I have been actively involved with all aspects of our
veterinary practice since my husband, Dr. Greg Matthews, and I opened our first
office in Bowling Green, Ohio, in 1975. We have 2 daughters. Jennifer is married
to Heath, has a son, Alex, and is a teacher. Julie is a veterinarian and joined
us in our Fremont practice in 2009.
Originally from Milford Center, Ohio, I graduated from Fairbanks High School in
1969 and obtained my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Capital University
in 1973.
I really enjoy working in the veterinary field and getting to work with animals
and their owners every day.

started working at Countryside Veterinary Clinic in 2004.
I am married with 2 children and live in Oak Harbor. Our family would not be complete

In my spare time, I enjoy attending my boys' sporting events and trail riding.
