He worked in general practice in upstate NY for several years.

Dr. Newton came to the Garden State as the chief veterinarian of Lana Lobell Farms, a large Standardbred nursery where he was responsible for the care of 1200 animals, comprising the breeding program, reproductive pathology and microbiology, foal and yearling care.
He has participated in many clinical trails, including the use of innovative vaccines and treatments in horses. He brings his wealth of experience in all aspects of veterinary medicine to Animerge where he has been enjoyed being an emergency clinician since 1989.
In 2006 Dr. Newton spearheaded an ambitious expansion and remodeling project, transforming Animerge into a 24/7 facility in May of 2007. With the enhanced technologies and additional medical space available, he helped Animerge add specialty services by bringing on a full time board certified surgeon and two part-time ophthalmologists with others soon to follow.
Dr. Newton is a member of the AVMA, NJVMA, NJ Metropolitan VMA, AAEP, and the Society of Theriogenology.
He has four children, one of whom is preparing for a career in veterinary medicine. His wife, Dr. Karan Oberhansley, has a successful small animal practice. His interests include biking, fishing, and aviation, and is a part-time flight instructor.
We thank him for his contributions to the practice as both Medical Director and DVM!
