Dr. Green
DVM
Meet Dr. Green
Dr. Green graduated with a BS in Animal Science, a BS in Agricultural Business Management, and a DVM from The NC State College of Veterinary Medicine. He started off with equine medicine and then landed in small animal emergency medicine, because apparently a regular workday wasn’t exciting enough. Emergency medicine suits him because he enjoys solving puzzles under pressure. He likes the detective work, the unpredictability, the adrenaline, and most importantly helping animals when their families need someone in their corner.
When he isn’t treating four-legged emergencies, he’s usually looking for trouble outdoors with his horse, his dog, or both. He enjoys horse adventures, exploring back roads and forgotten trails with his German Shepard, hunting for hidden treasures while magnet fishing, skydiving, collecting banana stickers, and ballroom dancing.
His philosophy is simple: work hard, stay curious, laugh often, and never turn down an adventure, especially if there’s good company involved.
He believes life should be interesting, animals should be spoiled, and no adventure is complete without at least one story that starts with, “Well…that wasn’t supposed to happen.”
