The IVPA was formed to support local veterinarians in their practices so they can run their practice with the values & goals they hold dear while providing the best care to pets and owners. We are an independent veterinary practice and want you to know more about why we believe it is important to distinguish ourselves as an independent vet.
We hope you find a friendly staff dedicated to you & the veterinary care of your furry loved ones. We believe in our mission statement and treat our patients with kindness & sympathy. We strive to accommodate our patients so they can relax while they are here. We listen and help owners make the best decisions for their family, understanding they know their pet best.

Report
I started with a biology degree from the University of Kentucky (Go Cats!) then graduated from Auburn University with my veterinary degree in 1997. I took over Cherokee Animal Hospital in 2006 and have been very busy ever since! I am married to a very patient man, have two wonderful children and a house full of animals.
Tour
Report
Our previous clinic was a 70-year-old house, and it limited what we were able to do in terms of providing care. Our new facility allows our veterinarians to o er premium animal care in a safer, more efficient, and more comfortable setting. Our lobby is clean, cozy, and colorful, and is a welcoming place for animals and humans alike.
Alternative Therapies
Report
Many owners are looking for alternative methods for treating themselves and want the same options for their pets. Alternative therapies are options beyond the traditional medications. Sometimes we are already using all the medications we have available for certain problems but still need additional help.
Herbal Therapies
Report
The biggest difference between herbals or other supplements and traditional medications is that supplements and herbals are often gentler and come with fewer side effects. On the flipside, their effects are more subtle and may take longer to perceive. However, this doesn't make them any less valuable.
