Dr. Lavasser, DVM
HOSPITAL DIRECTOR
Thankful and blessed to be working a true childhood dream job. I grew up in north Alabama were I attended University of Alabama in Huntsville and played soccer. I was lucky enough to attend Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine were I was active as SCAVMA president. Upon graduation I return to north Alabama and practiced emergency medicine. Then opportunity took me to South Carolina where I was a general practitioner for a number of years. Another great opportunity brought me to Woodland Animal Hospital where I have grown into a leadership position and grown close to its people and community. Off time is spent with family building up the homestead and mini-travels looking for local adventure.
