Dr. Elizabeth Nix
Dr. Nix joined Vernon Woods Animal Hospital in July 2005. She grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana and then Jacksonville, Florida. She obtained her undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia in less than four years and then headed to the University of Florida to complete her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. While in school she was extremely active with the Student American Veterinary Medical Association (SAVMA) and served two years on the SAVMA Executive Committee as International Exchange Officer. She graduated in the top of her class from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004. After that, she moved to Atlanta to complete a one-year internship at Georgia Veterinary Specialists. There, she worked with specialists in Internal Medicine and Oncology, Surgery, Ophthalmology, Cardiology and Dermatology. She also spent many long nights and weekends caring for patients in the GVS emergency room. She has special interests in feline medicine, emergency medicine, internal medicine and soft tissue surgery. She has four loveable kitties—Oliver, Jack, Allie and Max—and a sweet Labrador mix named Scout. Dr. Nix has a passion for international travel but when she not on the road enjoys attending concerts and sporting events (go Braves) and spending time outside with friends and family.
