HISTORY

Meadow Brook Veterinary Hospital began in 1901 by an old mariner retired from the sea... treating all kinds of critters!

No, really, it started in 1981 as a satellite clinic of Kent Animal Hospital. Back then, there was only a stop sign at the corner of 119 and 280 Highway. Brook Highland's Shopping Center was a horse farm! Lloyd's was there, of course. Things have really changed since then.

VETERINARIANS - Billy Cox DVM and Laura Wilson DVM

BILLY COX DVM

Dr. Billy Cox graduated from Auburn in 1986. Since then, he has "doctored" nearly every kind of domestic animal: dogs, cats, ferrets, goats, sheep, birds, snakes, pigs, cattle, horses and rats. Now, he routinely works on only the first three on the list. He has an 8 year old daughter who wants to be a veterinarian just like her dad. He really enjoys mountain biking, speed skating, camping with his daughter, and coaching basketball. In fact, he thinks he's the Phil Jackson of youth basketball, just because his team of 8 year olds nearly won the 2002 season championship. He has two clinic cats: Raven and Trouble; two cats at home: Boogie and Splash, who have been overheard saying, "Hey, these chipmunks are pretty good for breakfast, too." He also has a dog named Sally who likes soccer games, and car rides, but not nail trims.

Professionally speaking, he enjoys challenging medical and surgical cases, and geriatrics. Most of all, he really enjoys the people who own and care for pets. "It confirms my faith in the goodness of people when I observe the care and love that people give to their pets." says Billy. His favorite animal quote is from Ghandi: (or was it WC Fields?) "You can tell much about a culture by observing the way it treats it's animals."

LAURA (LOLLY) WILSON DVM

Laura Wilson, DVM graduated from Auburn in 1983. She and her husband, Bobby owned the clinic from 1981 to 1999, when they sold it to Billy Cox. Lolly now works here at the clinic on Thursdays and the first Saturday of each month. In addition to veterinary services, she also teaches obedience training. When she's not at the clinic, she is home schooling her children, Daniel, Caleb, Anna, and Ruth. She also raises Labs and loves to garden. My gosh, woman, slow down! By the way, Bobby does Christian mission work in Russia and other parts of the world.

A STANDARD OF CARE

When you go to your health care provider, you have certain expectations for your care and treatment. You expect professionalism, knowledge, respect, and compassion. Why should you expect any less for your pets?
At Meadow Brook Veterinary Hospital, we believe that your pets deserve those same values that you look for from your doctor. You and your pet receive only our best.

CONSULT BEFORE PROCEEDING

Before we perform any procedure on a pet, we consult with the client. We will discuss treatment options, possible outcomes, and costs.

While we do not do any procedures nor treatments on a patient that aren't warranted, we want to make sure that we are doing everything as cost effectively as possible without diminishing the quality of care to your satisfaction. We want to make sure that you, the client, are part of the team that keeps your pet healthy and happy.

INDIVIDUAL APPROACH

We treat each case as an individual, because every pet is different. We are not your typical assembly line veterinary clinic. We listen, analyze, and devise individualized solutions that are right for you and your pet.
