DR. CAROL OATES
Veterinarian
Dr. Carol Oates purchased this veterinary clinic from a local veterinarian, Dr. Curtis, in 1971 upon her graduation from The Ohio State University. The hospital was much smaller than and has had two significant expansions throughout the years, the last being in 1998. Dr. Carol’s husband, Gary, a local farmer with a degree in dairy science (The Ohio State University 67), helps ensure everything is in proper working order at the clinic.
Carol is originally from Fairborn, Ohio (near the Dayton area) but has lived in Kenton since 1971. She and Gary enjoy being in the great outdoors. Carol has several hobbies. In particular, she enjoys harvesting maple syrup and tending her apiary (beehives) with her sister, Linda.
