Kelly Georgeou, VMD
Veterinarian
Growing up in Pennsylvania, I was always fascinated by all living things. I was the kid who rescued earthworms when it rained. I doted on my pets. In school, the sciences were my favorite to learn about. These things all created my passion for veterinary medicine. So, I eventually obtained my veterinary degree at the University of Pennsylvania.
I treasure the relationships I can create with my patients and clients in veterinary medicine. There is nothing like the bond between a person and their pet. I get to foster and promote that every day. Veterinary medicine is full of joys and challenges and I enjoy learning more every day I am in practice.
I have been the proud owner of Mitchell Veterinary Hospital since 2009. Living here in the small town of Spruce Pine has been a joy for myself, my husband and my 2 daughters. We have enjoyed the outdoor activities and warm, friendly environment. My goal is to create that same warm, friendly environment here in my hospital as well.
