Meet Our Team

Veterinarian

Dr. Tim Sullivan attended Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where he was very active in several organizations, such as the Student Chapter of the Disaster Animal Response Team (SCDART). Dr. Sullivan had additional training in dentistry, anesthesiology, and preventative medicine. Preventative medicine, he believes, is key to our pet’s health. It enables us, as veterinary professionals, to diagnose potential health concerns early. Dr. Sullivan is also a Cat-Friendly Veterinarian, dedicated to providing a stress-free and compassionate experience for feline patients.
