Ray Griffin

The End of an Era...

It was with a heavy heart that we said farewell to Ray Griffin. Ray had been with Shoal Creek Animal Clinic since we opened our doors in 1993. All who know Ray appreciate the way he embodied our practice philosophy: to offer the best veterinary care possible and to be a servant to our patients and their owners. Ray’s kindness, care, and love of both animals and people has always been an inspiration. These qualities, combined with his exceptional skills as a veterinary technician have made him an invaluable asset to Shoal Creek Animal Clinic. Ray is now on staff with Merritt Veterinary Supply and provides his knowledge and support to veterinary hospitals across Georgia. It is an understatement to say we miss Ray. He was an integral part of the growth and success of the clinic in its first half decade and a true friend to the clients and staff. We wish him the very best in his new career.

Laura Steadman, DVM

 

After five years of devoted service to our clients and patients, Shoal Creek Animal Clinic said a very fond farewell to Dr. Laura Steadman. As I have shared many times, Dr. Steadman is not only one of the most outstanding veterinarians with which I have had the privilege of working, but also she is among the most kind and caring people I know. Her knowledge and skills, ability to easily explain medical issues to pet owners, and her compassion for both animals and people are of the highest caliber. Dr. Steadman has always gone above and beyond the call of duty in meeting the health needs of our patients. Although this was a sad time for us, we are happy and excited for Dr. Steadman as she accepted a new challenge in life. Dr. Steadman has joined the veterinary staff of Merial, a world-leading animal health company. Merial produces pharmaceutical products and vaccines for livestock, pets and wildlife and is a leader in product development and innovation, working worldwide to keep livestock and pets healthy. Dr. Steadman’s role with Merial is focused in the areas of pharmacovigilance and customer care. We wish her the very best as she works in this important area of animal health care. I am happy to share that we will continue to see Dr. Steadman from time to time as she will occasionally be working as a relief veterinarian at Shoal Creek Animal Clinic.
-Dr. Askren
