Your Trusted Veterinarian in Corryton, TN
Tazewell Pike Animal Clinic has proudly served the Corryton, TN area since its founding in 2000 by Dr. Joanne Hibbs. Starting in a renovated historic home in Gibbs community, we transformed the space into a fully equipped hospital offering diagnostics, preventive care, emergency medicine, surgery, and dentistry. Our reputation for compassionate care attracted a growing clientele, prompting our expansion in 2010 and the addition of digital radiology in 2012 - a technology that allows instant image transmission for specialist evaluation. Our team of experienced veterinarians, including Dr.Tracy Dewhirst, Dr. Lori Smith, and Dr. Meghan Zeise, works collaboratively with our dedicated staff to maintain the highest standards of veterinary care. We approach every case with the understanding that pets are cherished family members, and we've built our practice on principles of trust, transparency, and compassionate expertise. Our commitment to continuous improvement drives us to maintain state-of-the-art facilities while preserving the personal touch that has defined our practice since its inception.
