Murphree, D.V.M., purchased Cullman Veterinary Hospital in January 1985 from Dr. David Simpson. In the 1950s, Cullman Veterinary Hospital was both a large and small animal facility. In 1989, the decision was made to sell the large animal portion of the practice to an associate veterinarian. At that time, Cullman Veterinary Hospital became a 100% small animal treatment facility. In 1990, Dr. Dana Kessler joined the practice as an associate veterinarian. Her expertise and knowledge has proven to be a valuable asset to the practice. The hospital soon needed room for expansion and Cullman Veterinary Hospital moved into its new facility in August 2001. The new facility contains 2 surgery suites complete with video imaging, laser surgery and endoscopy. Four exam rooms, a conference room, an expanded laboratory, and added kennel space for housing cats and dogs compliment the new hospital. Dr. Tara Bonds became an associate in 2011. Her knowledge and caring attitude compliments our team in practicing high quality veterinary medicine.
