Tates Creek Animal Hospital

We are proud to offer standard and specialized care for your dog or cat, ranging from wellness exams to surgical procedures, if necessary. Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Lacy personally consult with clients and patients to determine appropriate medical needs based on the breed, age, and overall health of each pet.

Dr. Sullivan (“Sully”) recalls when she was 5 years-old how she loved playing with her black Labrador Retriever, Pepper, and the “critters” on her grandmother’s farm. “Those trips to the farm definitely sparked my love for animals. I have always had a tender heart for the hurting and sick. This passion is what drove me to a career of caring for others.”

The next step in Dr. Sully’s career came when she was 14 and volunteered in a veterinary hospital. Then it was off to Western Kentucky University, where she majored in animal science and biology. In 2012, upon graduation from the Tuskegee University in Alabama, Ashley Sullivan became Dr. Ashley Sullivan, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

“My mom has always shown me the importance of hard work and achieving my goals and dreams. She was so supportive in making my dream of becoming a veterinarian come true.”
