Dr. Molly McCullough

I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian as long as I can remember.  Like many veterinarians that I’ve met through the years, I spent my childhood rescuing wild animals which were trapped in our window wells or injured.  I remember rescuing a toad which was trapped and had lost a leg, and nursing him back to health.  When he reappeared the following spring, healthy and robust, I knew that I had found my calling fixing up critters.

We always had a dog when I was growing up, and I remember that I was usually the one who brushed him, bathed him, and trimmed his nails.  However my parents were never cat lovers, so I grew up catless.  It wasn’t until I owned one in veterinary school that I became enamored of them.  I now live with a 14 year-old Cornish Rex cat named "Gus", and a young Cornish Rex named "Hogan", whose antics amuse me every day. 

Veterinary medicine has been a great career—every day I am rewarded with new and interesting challenges.  And it is rewarding to see how devoted our clients are to their pets!
