Our Veterinarians
Dr. Sarah E. Guttery, DVM
Veterinarian
Sarah E. Guttery is originally from Jacksonville, Florida, but she grew up in Dunwoody, Georgia, which is where she developed her love for animals and life-long ambition of becoming a veterinarian.
Dr. Guttery attended Auburn University, and she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology in 1987, followed by her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1990. She has practiced veterinary medicine in Brevard County since 1990.
Over the years, Dr. Guttery has developed a relationship built on trust with clients who visit Cocoa Veterinary Hospital from Titusville, Cocoa, Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach, and Melbourne. Some people even travel as far away as Kissimmee, Lakeland, and Edgewater for her services!
Dr. Guttery’s interests include medicine and surgery for small and exotic animals. She is also a member of the admissions committee at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine.
Today, Dr. Guttery lives in Titusville with her husband, John. They raised three wonderful sons: Wesley, Ryan, and Jason. Although she and her husband are both Auburn alumni–War Eagle!–all three boys received their undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University of Florida–Go Gators!
As an active member of Park Avenue Baptist Church, Dr. Guttery goes on medical mission trips overseas every year, primarily to Kenya. Her personal interests also include running, especially triathlons. She continues to pursue her goals of running a marathon in all 50 states and qualifying for the Ironman Triathlon World Championship in Hawaii.
Dr. Guttery also loves skiing, rock climbing, and scrapbooking. She loves spending time in Gainesville with her husband as well as their three boys, two daughters-in-law, their grandson, and their granddaughter!
Dr. Katherine Gillikin, DVM

We are excited to announce the addition of Dr. Katherine Gillikin to Cocoa Veterinary Hospital. As a graduate of the University of Florida, Dr. Gillikin graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Biochemistry in 2010. She also earned her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Colorado State University in 2014.
Dr. Gillikin has worked as a small-animal veterinarian in Jacksonville, Florida, for the last eight years. She plans to move to Brevard County with her husband and two young children in mid-April.
