Dedicated professionals driving our success

James Rericha

Chief Executive Officer

I am the proud father of three boys and one girl, a humble husband to my loving wife Dr. Katie, and a University of Missouri Rolla graduate. I enjoy exploring different opportunities to help serve our customers, employees, and community. It truly gives me joy to help others and their pets, and that is why I have taken on the task of growing R Veterinary.  

Samantha Emery-Bithell

Accounting Manager

Hi, my name is Samantha Emery. I have worked for the animal hospital since 2014. I started out as a veterinary technician and in 2016, shortly after Dr. Katie and James Rericha purchased the clinic, I began working as the office manager and am now the accounting manager for all of the R Veterinary locations. I have three sons and quite a few four-legged critters. We all love being outdoors anytime that we can!! We enjoy hunting, fishing, racing, working in our garden, and spending time with our family.
