Carol Springs, Veterinarian
Dr. Springs was inspired to work in the veterinary field by her father, who served as a veterinarian in the United States Air Force for 28 years. She’s honored to follow in his footsteps and even attended the same veterinary school as he did!
As an Air Force brat, Carol grew up in several states across the U.S. even spending four years of her early childhood in Germany. After the family settled in South Carolina, Carol attended Furman University in Greenville for her undergraduate studies. After that, she was accepted to the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Her father graduated from the same school in 1958. After graduating from vet school in 1992, she worked six years at a clinic in Spartanburg. Dr. Springs joined Blue Ridge Animal Hospital in October 1998.
Client education is of the utmost importance to Dr. Springs. She says it’s difficult these days to compete with “Dr. Google,” but she’s determined to give patients more accurate information and resources. She’s also passionate about dermatology, in part due to the pet skin problems in the Southeast. Dr. Springs also served a term on the South Carolina Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners.
Carol lives with her husband, Jay, a writer. They’ve been married since 1995 and have one son named Isaac. The family shares their home with three pets: two cats and a dog. All of the four footed children are rescues.
When time permits, Dr. Springs enjoys reading – She says it’s inevitable that she married a man who also loves words and books! She also enjoys spending time with family and exploring historical sites.
