Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Bayha was raised on a beef cattle farm in Mahopac, and her earliest memories are loving and caring for both large and small animals. From Lakeland High School, Dr. Bayha went on to earn her BS and DVM degrees from Cornell University. She completed a large animal (equine) internship at the University of Pennsylvania before joining the Pound Ridge Veterinary Center. She has enjoyed a rewarding career here since 1988, and was voted one of Westchester Countys topVets in 2011 and 2012. Cornell has remained a beacon of inspiration for her since her undergraduate days, and she serves in various volunteer leadership roles for both the veterinary college and Cornell University. Always active in our community, Dr. Bayha has volunteered her veterinary skills to care for the 25 grey and red wolves at the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, New York, since 2001. She is also an active member of the Pound Ridge Community Church serving on various committees. Dr. Bayha lives in South Salem with her husband, Tom Gossett and their two children, Billy and Elizabeth. The Gossett family shares their home with two dogs, Henry and Dottie, and a cat named Peter George. Dr. Bayha and Henry, a talented black Labrador Retriever, compete in AKC Hunt Tests; they have earned the highest title of Master Hunter and in 2015 qualified and competed at the Master National in South Carolina.
