Dr. Ross

Raised in Columbia, South Carolina, Dr. Ross completed her undergraduate degree at Auburn University in 2008. She then went on to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian, graduating from Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2012. Upon graduation from MSU-CVM, Dr. Ross joined the RMAH team and practiced here for the next 3 years. She says that RMAH quickly became like a second family to her. However, she returned to Columbia to practice with her longtime mentor at a large private small animal hospital where she remained for the next five years. In November, 2020, the RMAH family called her back to the upstate and she could not be more excited and appreciative to be back where her dream was first realized. Dr. Ross has four rescue pets - two dogs (Ford and Munchie) and two cats (George and Murray) and a feisty Betta fish, Bonnie. In her spare time, she loves to garden, read, and travel.
