Amy Harper, DVM

Veterinarian

Dr. Amy Harper is originally from Montgomery, Alabama and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Biomedical Science and Pre-Med from Auburn University. However, she decided to change directions and pursue veterinary medicine instead. She graduated from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and performed her final year of clinical rotations at Purdue University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. After veterinary school graduation, she worked at a small animal hospital in rural Indiana. The cold winters and the desire to be closer to family brought her back down south to the Florida panhandle where she has been since 2007.

Dr. Harper enjoys that every day is different in veterinary practice and in her off time likes to paddle board with her dog and cat (yes the cat likes to paddleboard too!)
