About Us
Dr. Don Cole is the owner, President and majority owner of Winterville Animal Clinic. Even though he is an LSU graduate, we let him stay because he is a great vet! Dr. Cole is a compassionate and caring doctor. His diagnosing capabilities are outstanding and clients appreciate the medical care he provides their animals. He is respected by his peers and his staff is starting to understand his humor!
Dr. Matthew Groover is part owner and a full-time veterinarian here at Winterville Animal Clinic. He is a graduate from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. He brings new technology and youthful exuberance to our group of veterinarians. He has established himself well within our clinic and our community. We look forward to many years of great medicine from Dr. Matthew.
Dr. Anna McQuaid is part owner and a full-time veterinarian here at Winterville Animal Clinic. She is a graduate of the Universty of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Anna is a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist and is also certified by the International Chiropractic Association.
Dr. Emily Parsons is one of our full-time veterinarians. She is a graduate of St. Matthews Veterinary College. Her special interest include small animal, exotic and wildlife medicine.
We also have three other part-time veterinarians. They are all University of Georgia School of Veterinary Medicine graduates: Dr. Julie gayer, Dr. Jacob Liu and Dr. Anne Shirley. The diversity brought to us by this group of veterinarians allows us to diagnose and treat patients quickly and effectively.
Our staff consists of friendly, outgoing people who are also compassionate and caring. They can deal with the happiness a new puppy or kitten brings to their owner or they can be quietly consoling during the loss of a beloved pet. We greet all clients personally when they come in our door. As busy as we might be at times, we still speak to each pet owner when they come in. If you are new to the area, just “visiting” for a few years as a student or have been in the Winterville/Athens area for quite some time, we invite you to bring your pets to the Winterville Animal Clinic for a GREAT Veterinary experience!
We look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
