✨ Farewell & Best Wishes to Dr. Springer ✨
Today marks a very special (and emotional) day for our clinic family. After 44 years of practicing veterinary medicine, Dr. Springer is closing one chapter and beginning a new one.
He has poured his heart into this hospital — from owning the clinic for 19 years, to selling to Dr. Kimbrell, and still staying on as an essential part of our family caring for patients and performing surgeries. His dedication, compassion, and love for animals have touched countless lives, both two-legged and four-legged. ❤️
Dr. Springer will now focus on surgery only at a spay/neuter clinic, where he will enjoy a less stressful pace and the consistency of knowing what each day will bring. After years of the unpredictability that comes with being a walk-in clinic, we are glad he can finish his career in a way that brings him peace and balance.
This is a huge transition for our hospital, and we ask for your patience as Dr. Kimbrell will now handle both client visits and surgeries as the only vet in the clinic. Although it is a big adjustment for us, Dr. Kimbrell is an excellent veterinarian. Anyone who knows him knows the compassion and effort he puts into his patients to ensure they receive the best care possible. He will adjust just fine! ❤️🐾
Dr. Springer, we will miss you more than words can say. We have had so much fun with you over the years. Thank you for everything you have done for this hospital, this community, and most of all — for the animals. 🐶🐱
Please join us in wishing him all the best in this next chapter. 💙
— The Animal Hospital of Walker County 🐾❤️🐱🐶🫶🏼
