I am a graduate of Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine and practice in MA and RI. In addition to conventional veterinary medicine, I am also certified in small animal Acupuncture and Chinese herbs from the Chi Institute in Florida. My practice is heavily surgical including a large amount of dentistry and soft tissue surgery but I also make house calls for the geriatric patient consisting of pain management, laser, acupuncture, hospice, and end of life care.
I only recently became involved with the competitive purebred dog world in 2020 when I acquired my first show dog, a Rottweiler. I never thought I would be as interested in the preservation of breed standards and the entire fancy as I have become. I was naturally excited to learn that I could have the opportunity to learn the skill of surgical ear cropping for purposes of maintaining a historic breed standard and breed image. I am extremely grateful for this learning opportunity and look forward to when I am able to offer these surgical services on my own.
