, DVM
Dr.Reed graduated with both undergraduate and DVM degrees from The University of Tennessee in Knoxville. After practicing in Chattanooga, TN for 3 years, he moved with his family to the Charlotte area.
Dr. Reed has been practicing at Plantation Animal Clinic in Matthews for the past 14 years seeing not only canine and feline friends, but also furry pocket pets including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, mice, and others.
Dr. Reed is excited to be joining the staff at River Run Animal Hospital and continuing to provide experienced patient care, advice, and treatment for your pets! His interests include radiology and ultrasound, preventative care, pain management, internal medicine, and surgery.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three children, their 2 rescue dogs - Grant, the best pound dog ever, and Abe Froman, a dachshund and the sausage king of Charlotte, 18-year-old cat, Moises, and lionhead rabbit, Beatrice. You can also find him hiking, searching out the latest and greatest in craft beer and local breweries, enjoying backyard astronomy, watching baseball and other sports (Go Cubs!), gardening and yard work, traveling, watching movies, listening to music, and attending concerts (hopefully soon!), and he is an avid Sci-Fi, Star Wars, and Tolkien fan.
