Dr. Scott Russell
Dr. Russell is a graduate of Mississippi State University College of
Veterinary Medicine. Upon graduating, Dr. Russell was offered a position at a veterinary
hospital in Alabama and relocated to take that position. For the next six years, Dr.
Russell worked for several veterinary practices in the area- gaining knowledge, experience
and learning about the community. His dream and ultimate goal was to open his own
veterinary clinic. It took several years of planning, designing and building – but that
dream came to life when Deerfoot Animal Clinic opened its doors in March of 1999. Dr.
Russell’s favorite part of the day is surgery- especially orthopedic repair procedures. He
enjoys the challenges of diagnosing difficult cases and taking the time to talk and get to
personally know his clients and their family. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time
with his family, woodworking, home improvement projects, hunting and traveling.
