Dr. Emily Roberson
In 2004, Dr. Roberson achieved her second major goal by founding the Animal Hospital of East Davie, fulfilling her ambition to open her own veterinary hospital even while her sons were just 2 and 3 years old. With the support of her husband, Craig, who joined full-time in 2013 to assist with bookkeeping and maintenance, they completed an expansion of the building to include more exam rooms and additional space for the Davie Dog House.
Over the years, she has expanded the business into a comprehensive medical and surgical facility and established the Davie Dog House, which offers boarding, daycare, and grooming services. They are excited to announce the construction of a new 9,000 sq. ft. animal hospital on their existing property, set for completion in late summer to fall 2026, which will also allow further expansion of the Davie Dog House.
Her sons, both graduates of NCSU, have pursued careers in Forestry (Larry) and Education (Colby). Dr. Roberson’s family currently includes four beloved pets: Beau, an Australian Shepherd born in 2011 and a liver cancer survivor; Doris, a smooth coat Border Collie born in 2023; Crush, an orange tabby Domestic Shorthair born in 2010; and Hazel, a tortoiseshell Domestic Medium Hair born in 2015.
Dr. Roberson remains active in her community, collaborating with Forsyth County and Davie County Animal Control since her graduation, serving on the Humane Society of Davie County board for six years, and volunteering with organizations such as AARF, Furever Friends, and other rescue groups.
In her free time, she enjoys traveling with her family, as seen in last year’s trips to Bar Harbor and Montana, attending concerts with her twin sister and niece, and relaxing by the lake.
Dr. Baxley Zagaroli
Dr. Zagaroli graduated from North Carolina State University in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and from NCSU-CVM in 2023. She grew up in Hickory, NC, and has had a passion for horseback riding since age 4. At NCSU, Dr. Baxley was passionate about furthering her proficiency in Soft Tissue Surgery, Ultrasound, and Anesthesia. This is her first year as a practicing veterinarian, but she has worked as both a surgical and ER/ICU veterinary technician for the past 6 years. She and her fiance, Virgil, have just moved to the Davie County community and look forward to starting their life here, which is close to both their families. Together, they have a dog named Thor, an orange cat named Milton, and a Thoroughbred named Captain. Her hobbies outside of work include running, reading, traveling, and crafting.
Dr. Amber Nebel-Karp
Dr. Nebel-Karp graduated from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2019. She completed an equine rotational internship in Massachusetts following vet school and completed a comparative theriogenology residency back at NCSU. Dr. Nebel has a passion for reproductive medicine and neonatal and pediatric care, as well as educating and supporting the local breeding community. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, running, participating in various 5Ks, and spending time with her small herd of guinea pigs and her partner. She is looking forward to adding a borzoi puppy to the menagerie, hopefully this coming March. She is interested in finding out what AKC competitions she can become involved in with her future puppy prospect.
