Dr. Kimberly S. Cary, DVM

Owner & Veterinarian

Dr. Cary shares her life with her loving husband and 2 mischievous cats, Forrest and Quinn. She grew up outside of Washington D.C. in the Northern Virginia area. She received bachelor’s degrees in both Animal Science and Political Science from Virginia Tech while riding for the Equestrian Team. Dr. Cary graduated with honors from Texas A&M University Veterinary School in 2006 when she then moved to Atlanta to begin her veterinary career. Her love of animals started at a young age and continues to this day, as does her dependency on chocolate!

She enjoys building strong personal relationships with both Clients and Patients, as well as nurturing the bond between pets and their owners. Her focus is on educating Owners on ways to keep their pets healthy, and providing optimum care to her Patients.

She is the former President of the Cobb County Veterinary Medical Association and is a long-time member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners.

Jamie Cary

Owner & Practice Manager
Jamie received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Virginia Tech, where he met Dr. Cary – the woman he decided to spend the rest of his life with, and with whom he shares the love of their furry family members. He practiced Architecture for 12 years before this team decided to open a veterinary practice together, where she would focus on optimal animal care and he would handle the business side of things and general maintenance of the facility. Jamie worked in the veterinary field for 3 years to prepare himself for the transition, including answering the phones to assisting in surgery, and everything in between. He also has many years experience in animal behavior and training – while Dr. Cary was in Veterinary School in Texas, Jamie spent all of his free time training Search and Rescue dogs.

Barbara

Client Care Representative
Barbara has lived in Cobb County, Georgia all of her life, and, although Cobb County has changed, nothing has changed about her lifelong love of animals. She has always had dogs and cats and wanted to be a veterinarian as a young girl. After 22 years in engineering, she went back to her first love. She has found that working with clients and their pets to offer the very best care possible is her life mission. In her spare time she works with local rescues, takes care of her own pet family; Taffy the Cairn Terrier, Piper the chihuahua, and King the long haired chihuahua as well as Monet, her 23 year old lady cat. She loves gardening, travel, and spending time with her grandchildren.

Bri

VETERINARY ASSISTANT
Bri was born and raised in Georgia and worked in nonprofit management before pivoting into veterinary medicine. She’s dedicated to honoring the human-animal bond between pets and their guardians and ensuring that every patient has as low-stress a visit as possible. She recently graduated from Kennesaw State University with a degree in Biology and hopes to gain acceptance into a veterinary college in the near future. Timid rescues and senior pets hold a special place in Bri’s heart!

Bria

Veterinary Assistant

Bria’s love for animals started on a small little island called Nassau. Her parents allowed her love for animals to foster, and with education and track and field, it created the opportunity for her to work in a field she has been passionate about since childhood.  Her favorite parts of veterinary medicine are animal care, client education, and mastering new skills.

Hollie

Veterinary Assistant

Hollie grew up in Cartersville, GA on a small farm where she first learned of her love for animals. Whether it was cats, dogs, pigs, or horses, she loved them all. She plans to attend Kennesaw State University to pursue veterinary medicine. In her free time, she enjoys playing video games and hanging out with her two kitties, Happy and Holo.

Kari

Veterinary Assistant
Kari was born and raised in Fulton County, GA, where she grew up around many animals.  She has had a passion for all animals since she was a kid.  During her middle school years, she volunteered at a local pet supply store in the adoption area frequently.  She loved taking care of them and getting to see them find their forever homes.  She hopes to one day become a veterinarian so she can help others and keep their pets healthy.  She currently has two senior feline queens named Cutiepie and Star.  She also has a bearded dragon named Kimchi.

Kim

Veterinary Assistant
Kim’s initiation to the veterinary field began when she was still in high school. She started working in the kennel area of a local hospital, quickly discovered her passion for animals, and made veterinary medicine her chosen career. Kim enjoys spending all of her free time with her children.
