Three New DVMs Join the CARE Team

CARE adds 3 new DVMs

by | Sep 28, 2017 | Blog Post, Employment

We’re excited to announce that our team has expanded to meet the needs of your pets!

In the past month, we have welcomed three new veterinarians, Drs. Debra C. James, Kelly Lang and Elizabeth Thompson. Dr. James and Dr. Lang are both members of the Emergency Services team, while Dr. Thompson specializes in Surgery. We are thrilled to have these three accomplished veterinarians join the CARE team so that we can continue to provide the best quality of life for more and more pets in the Charlotte area.

At CARE, we strive to be the Charlotte region’s leader in advanced veterinary care. We believe that to accomplish this, we must set the standard by delivering outstanding specialty and emergency care, as well as build our team with accomplished professionals at every level.

One of our founders, Dr. Peggy Sayer, says it well: “Their compassion for animals and dedication to improving their quality of life, along with their talent and experience, make these three women obvious additions to our CARE team. We couldn’t be more excited to work alongside them.”

To make an appointment with one of our specialists, consult with your veterinarian. Available for emergencies 24/7/365.
