Our Veterinarians
Erin Haxton, DVM
Dr. Erin Haxton has been a cornerstone of Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic since joining in 2012. A proud Oklahoma State University graduate, she earned her B.S. in Animal Science in 2007 and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2010.

Samantha Ketcher, DVM
Dr. Samantha Ketcher is a Dewey native and Dewey High School FFA alumna who grew up using Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic for her own family’s animals. After earning her DVM from Oklahoma State University, she worked at large-volume veterinary hospitals before returning to the community that inspired her career. Her specialties include orthopedic surgery — including TTA, lateral suture repair, MPL, fracture repair, and FHNO — as well as exotic animal medicine.
Dr. Ketcher’s connection to this community runs deep, and she is proud to bring advanced surgical skills back to the patients and families of Dewey and Bartlesville. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, volunteering, and caring for her many animals including dogs, cats, hogs, chickens, quail, a gecko, and a bearded dragon.
Ashley Knott, DVM
Dr. Ashley Knott received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from St. George’s University and completed her clinical training at Oklahoma State University. She is Fear Free certified and has a special interest in helping anxious pets feel safe and comfortable during their visits. Prior to joining Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic, she practiced at Banfield Pet Hospital in Owasso, where she developed her love for building long-term relationships with patients and their families.
Dr. Knott is passionate about preventive healthcare and client education, and she genuinely enjoys working with the entire care team to achieve the best possible outcome for every patient.
