GERMANTOWN, Tenn., Oct. 23, 2017 -- In order to continue its tradition of providing quality veterinary care to Germantown and the surrounding communities, Forest Hill Animal Hospital is happy to announce the addition of Dr. Mindy Ricketts as a part-time Associate Veterinarian. The veterinarians at the West Tennessee vet clinic pride themselves on providing the highest standards of care for local pets.

Dr. Mindy Ricketts began seeing patients at the beginning of October, and will be available on Tuesday and Wednesday of each week for appointments. She has been in practice for over 14 years, after having studied at Ole Miss for her undergraduate work and attending veterinary school at Mississippi State.

The newest addition to the Forest Hill Animal Hospital family joins the Germantown veterinary team of Dr. Darryl Dixon, Dr. Gram Johnson and Dr. Haley Rush Hanks, who have a combined 65+ years of experience working with animals of all ages and breeds. Forest Hill Animal Hospital philosophy is that quality pet health care consists of professionalism, compassion, and excellence.

The animal hospital also provides pet spay and neuter services. Specialized service areas include lab work, pet ophthalmology, surgery, internal medicine, and Class IV Lite Cure Pet Therapy Laser, as well as diagnostic ultrasound and radiology.
