Our Veterinarians
Dr. Jesse E. Brown
Veterinarian/Medical Director
Dr. Brown has been practicing for 23 years. To him, being a veterinarian is more than just the interaction with and treatment of animals. Veterinarians deal with the animal’s entire lifespan, from bringing life into the world and down the road to the final transitional from this world. But, having said that, helping people is just as important to him. He believes his previous background in research, with a Master’s degree in microbiology and a Ph.D. in animal physiology and immunology, enhanced his skills as a clinician as he loves to solve problems. He moved to North Georgia 14 years ago to be around his grandkids, so he enjoys them by hanging out with and spoiling them in his spare time. He likes to build things out of wood, tinker with old cars, and likes to fish and hunt as well. Although not much of a guitar player, he like music as it gives the family something to do together.
Dr. Kate McDuffee
Veterinarian
Dr. McDuffee practicing for 33 years. She really does try to treat patients as she treats her own pets and gives the client all the information they need to make informed decisions on the care their pets need. She works part-time for the Veterinary Information Network (VIN), which is an online community with over 85,000 veterinarians around the world. She like the North Georgia Mountains as often as she can chasing waterfalls, and she is active in the presbyterian church and in the P.E.O Sisterhood. She loves that she can live in a rural area but still be closed enough to the city if needed.
