Dr. Christina Scott

Dr. Christina Scott, DVM is a proud graduate of Tuskegee University School of
Veterinary Medicine, Class of 1999. Her love for animals started at a young age of 8 years old. With over 26 years in clinical medicine, Dr. Scott has a special passion for surgery and senior pet care, combining skill, compassion, and a little levity to make every visit as stress-free as possible. She truly believes all of God’s creatures deserve top- notch care—and maybe a few extra treats along the way. At home, Dr. Scott and her husband, Kevin, share life with their two fur babies: Cooper, an 11-year-old Chiweenie who thinks he runs the household, and Chirp, an 11-year-old mixed breed who actually does. When she’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find her traveling, singing along at a concert, or soaking up some fresh air outdoors. For Dr. Scott, being a veterinarian isn’t just a job—it’s what she was born to do (and honestly, she wouldn’t have it any other way).
