DEDICATED TEAM
dr. REBEKAH HARTFIELD
FOUNDER/VETERINARIAN
Dr. Hartfield is a dedicated veterinarian, author, and advocate for animal health and education. She holds two associate degrees, a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M University, and earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Oklahoma State University.
After graduating, Dr. Hartfield began her career at a mixed animal practice in Cushing, Oklahoma, where her passion for veterinary medicine and community outreach truly flourished. It was during this time that she began mentoring aspiring veterinarians and found her calling not only in healing animals but also in educating the next generation. This mission inspired her to create The Doctor Hartfield Veterinary Book Series, which follows Abby—a young farm girl—and Dr. H. as they care for animals and explore real-world veterinary concepts. The series helps children better understand pet care while sparking interest in veterinary science.
In 2019, Dr. Hartfield purchased her first practice in Holdenville, Oklahoma, where she continues to provide compassionate care for both large and small animals. As the owner of both Hartfield Veterinary Clinic and Holdenville Veterinary Clinc, she leads with a commitment to excellence, empathy, and community connection.
When she’s not treating animals or visiting classrooms to read her books, Dr. Hartfield enjoys life in Mannford with her husband Preston and their son, Paden. As a family, they love spending time outdoors—especially on Lake Keystone.
Rachel Francies
Office Manager
As the backbone of Hartfield Veterinary Clinic's daily operations, Rachel brings nearly a decade of hands-on experience and dedication to the world of veterinary medicine. Her journey began in college as a kennel assistant, and through hard work and a passion for animal care, she’s grown into a vital leadership role, ensuring our clinic runs efficiently while supporting both our team and our patients.
Rachel thrives in the fast-paced environment of our urgent care clinic and enjoys the variety of animals and cases we see each day. She’s especially proud to work alongside Dr. Hartfield and be part of a team that shares her commitment to compassionate, high-quality veterinary care.
Outside the clinic, Rachel is just as devoted to animals. She and her high school sweetheart, Tony, have fostered over 50 dogs over the years, demonstrating their deep love for rescue work. They live on a small hobby farm with their two children, a lively mix of rescue dogs and cats, chickens, and three horses.
Emily Sells

Emily has been a valued member of the Hartfield Veterinary Clinic team for over five years, beginning her journey alongside Dr. Hartfield at the Holdenville location. Her dedication, work ethic, and deep compassion for animals make her an essential part of our clinical team.
She earned her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University in May 2025 and is currently pursuing her goal of being accepted into veterinary school next fall. Emily has a strong passion for large animal medicine and brings both knowledge and hands-on experience to her role.
Outside of the clinic, Emily enjoys life on the farm with her dog, four horses, and a small herd of cattle. Her favorite part of veterinary medicine is assisting in the healing process—helping animals recover and return to their happy, healthy lives is what she finds most rewarding.
Gillian Andrews
Veterinary Assistant
Gillian, known around the clinic as Gilly, is currently studying veterinary technology and is working toward a career dedicated to helping animals live healthier, happier lives. Her favorite part of working in veterinary medicine is seeing the health of her patients improve—she finds it incredibly rewarding to watch animals recover and thrive under compassionate care.
Gilly has a special interest in complex medical cases and enjoys exploring the “why” behind each one. She embraces each challenge as an opportunity to grow her knowledge and strengthen the support she provides to the animals in our care.
Outside of the clinic, Gilly stays busy with her own furry family—seven cats and two dogs—and plays an active role in rescuing and caring for kittens alongside her mother. This hands-on experience has only deepened her passion for animal welfare and her commitment to making a difference in the lives of animals.
