Dr. King has been working at Heritage Veterinary Hospital since June of 2020. Ever since she was young she has had a caretaker instinct; bandaging her father's cuts and listening to everyone's heart with her mother's stethoscope. Her love for animals began as early on in life as she can remember, and her passion for science was first ignited in grade school. Dr. King’s interest in veterinary medicine began when she was around 6 years old and her family visited the local vet hospital to adopt their first cat, Seraphina. Dr. King watched with awe as the doctor listened to Seraphina’s heart and examined her. Cliché as it may sound, she knew in that moment what she wanted to be when she grew up.
