OUR STAFF
COURTNEY MANTECON, D.V.M.
CLINICAL DIRECTOR
|
My name is Dr. Courtney Mantecon and I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. The daughter of an Air Force Major, I grew up in Korea and Spain before returning to the United States to attend high school, college and veterinary school. I graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 1989 and have been practicing high quality small animal medicine and surgery since that time. I have extensive experience with elective surgeries, declaws, dentistry and soft tissue surgery. I also perform laser procedures as well as the new cutting edge Regenerative Stem Cell Therapy which has shown remarkable benefits for pets with arthritis and tendon or ligament injuries. I look forward to developing a partnership with all of our clients to provide the best care for every stage of their pet's life. |
