Hi, I'm Dr. White!
Over 24 Years of Veterinary Experience
Dr. White grew up in Louisville, Kentucky! She graduated in 1998 from Oklahoma State University; 3rd in her class! She started her first practice in 1992-1993 in San Antonio, Texas, then spent one year at a mixed animal practice. In 1993 she moved back home to Louisville, started her own equine practice, and purchased Salt River Vet Clinic in Taylorsville, Kentucky. Two years later, she started a new practice, Finchville Animal Hospital, and was there for 10 years doing equine and small animal veterinary care. In 2014, she pursued the Lord's calling with her family and moved to Central Asia.
While in Central Asia for five years, she taught equine medicine to veterinary students, assisting in community development projects throughout the region with cattle AI, water, and many other quality-of-life projects. She moved back to Kentucky in 2018 and started doing relief work as a veterinarian. In 2020, she took over Derby City's Crossroad Animal Hospital!
