Meet the Host: Dr. O’Hara of Abingdon Animal Medical Center

Ever wonder what drives someone to dedicate their life to caring for our furry companions? Dr. O'Hara takes us on a fascinating journey from his veterinary school days at Oregon State University to establishing Abingdon Animal Medical Center in the heart of Appalachia.

With warmth and candor, Dr. O'Hara reveals how five years of practice experience in Texas prepared him to become his own boss. His search for the perfect practice aligned beautifully with his desire to raise his family in the stunning landscapes of eastern Tennessee and southwest Virginia. What began as a chance visit to Abingdon while exploring other opportunities transformed into finding his perfect professional home—a testament to following both heart and instinct in career decisions.

Behind the state-of-the-art veterinary technology and comprehensive services lies Dr. O'Hara's simple but powerful philosophy: "I love the medicine, but I love the animals more than the medicine." This perspective shapes everything at Abingdon Animal Medical Center, from their approach to routine checkups to complex surgeries. When he's not being "Doc" at the clinic, Dr. O'Hara cherishes his role as "Papa" to his three young children, even coaching his nine-year-old son's baseball team. This balance between professional dedication and family life mirrors the values that drew him to Abingdon in the first place.
