Since 1976, Richboro Veterinary Hospital has been providing the highest quality veterinary services in the greater Richboro, Churchville, Ivyland, Wrightstown, and Newtown, PA areas.
Owner/Veterinarian
Dr. John Sampson was born and raised in Fargo, North Dakota. He attended the University of North Dakota for his undergraduate degree. Upon graduation in 2008, he became a zoo keeper for a few years before pursuing veterinary medicine. He attended his first year of veterinary school in the Caribbean at the American University of Antigua, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biological Sciences. He absolutely loved living in the warmth of the Caribbean for a year. That is also where he met his wife, Dr. Stephanie Ravin.
After a year in Antigua, he was able to transfer to the University of Edinburgh, Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he finished the remaining three years of his veterinary degree. After graduation, he was accepted to a small animal rotating internship at the Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Services hospital in Rochester, NY for 1 year. Upon completion of the internship, he joined Greece Animal Hospital, further honing his skills in a busy, small animal practice.
He then moved to Bucks county, as Dr. Ravin is originally from Richboro. Dr. Sampson worked at Ark Animal Hospital of Chalfont for 4 years before pursuing ownership. When he met Dr. Linn, they realized they practice very similar medicine and have similar business ideologies. Dr. Sampson then purchased Richboro Veterinary Hospital from Dr. Linn in October of 2021. Dr. Sampson thoroughly enjoys meeting new people, and their beloved pets. He also enjoys building relationships with pet owners through trust and education. He has special interest in surgery and diagnostic imaging.
Dr’s Ravin and Sampson have two children, a daughter named Stirling (4) and a son named Beckett (2). They also share their home with their Coconut Retriever, Ellie, whom they adopted while living in Antigua. They also have two orange cats, Daryl and Doodle.

Office Manager / Technician
I was born in Pittsburgh, PA but currently reside in Churchville, PA. I graduated from Council Rock North High School, and attended Bucks County Community College and Pennsylvania State University. I started at RVH in the early 2000’s working in the kennels during my summers and holidays during middle school and high school. I eventually became a veterinary assistant and worked my way up to a technician. Having a background in business, I became an office manager on top of being a technician. My hobbies include traveling, hiking, video games, DIY, and exploring breweries/wineries. My family includes my wife Jessica, and our three beautiful children: Aidan, Rowan (twins born in 2020), and McKenzie (born in 2021). We currently don’t have any fur children, but hopefully will add one in the near future.

I was born in Kittnersville, PA but moved to lower Bucks county. I graduated from Council Rock North in 1997. I started my career in the animal world in 1999, when I joined the Animal Inn in Richboro. I worked there for 2.5 years, until I joined Richboro Veterinary Hospital when they moved to their current location in 2001. I have been the kennel manager here at RVH since! I have come to develop amazing relationships with RVH clients over the years, and love doing what I do! I really enjoy traveling, working in the garden, being outdoors, fostering dogs and animal rescue work. I share my home with my husband, Chuck, 8 dogs, and 3 cats.

Surgical Technician
As a child, I grew up on a 200+ acre farm in Blairstown, NJ. I got into the veterinary field volunteering at Blairstown Animal Hospital (NJ) in 1986, and was hired to be a kennel assistant while on breaks and during summers (1986-1988). I graduated from Blair Academy (NJ) and Wells College (NY) and then moved to PA. I continued my veterinary journey at Morrisville Veterinary Hospital (1988-1996), Veterinary Specialty & Emergency Center (VSEC) in Langhorne (1996-2004), and Metropolitan Veterinary Associates (MVA) in Norristown as a senior surgical anesthesia nurse (2004-2010). I left specialty practice and came to Richboro Veterinary Hospital in 2010 and have over 35+ years of veterinary experience. I reside in Phoenixville, PA with my daughter, Olivia, 1 dog, 4 cats, and various small pets.
