Dr. Scott graduated from the Ohio State University, College of Veterinary Medicine in 2001. Upon graduation, she practiced in Cape Coral, Florida at a busy 6 doctor practice. Upon her return to Columbus she practiced as a relief veterinarian traveling throughout central Ohio.  She enjoyed being able to adapt care plans based on the individual needs of patients. The benefits she witnessed prompted her to develop a care facility that focuses on educating pet parents and working with them as a team. She purchased Stringtown Animal Hospital in December of 2004 with this goal. She provides a unique care experience that quickly comforts her patients and their families.  She enjoys surgery and providing individual positive experiences with each patient visit. Dr. Scott’s family includes two German Shepherds, Riddick and Furiosa. She has a long term partner, Barry, that can often be seen helping at the hospital.

Dr. Jim Carter grew up on a farm in Guernsey County Ohio and attended Ohio University for his undergraduate studies. He completed his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at The Ohio State University in 1993. He is an avid conservationist and practices environmental protection for wildlife on his farm in Vinton County, Ohio. His gentle demeanor and compassion are a great comfort to his patients. Dr. Carter’s family includes his dog (Riddick & Furiosa) and horses (Booboo & King).

Dr. Laura Perry grew up in Johnstown, OH, a small town northeast of Columbus with a menagerie of animals. She attended college at Otterbein University and then veterinary school at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  She graduated vet school in May 2016, then moved to southern Ohio where she started in a position as a mixed animal veterinarian.  After 3 years in mixed practice, Dr. Perry worked at a rural small animal practice in Kingston, OH for 1.5 years before starting at Stringtown Animal Hospital in January 2021!  Dr. Perry enjoys performing surgeries and has a special affinity for working with and treating cats (so she would love to see your feline fur babies!).  When she isn’t at work, Dr. Perry enjoys traveling and doing outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and horseback riding with her girlfriend Jennifer, and their 2 dogs, Killian and Quinn.  A few cats, 3 horses, a couple goats, some chickens, and 3 guinea pigs compete the list of Dr. Perry’s current pets!

Dr. Hutchinson attended The Ohio State University college of Veterinary Medicine. He has a special interest in aquatic medicine. But that does not mean he lacks any passion for feline and canine medicine. Dr. Hutchinson is compassionate, fun, and exceptional in his knowledge of internal medicine. He is also a jack-of-all-trades outside the Vet field. He could be nicknamed “the helper” with the skills he has to lend a hand with deck building and any job that needs assistance. He is also musically talented and plays multiple instruments, including the ukulele.  I would not be surprised if he serenades his significant other, Renna, and his feline family member on a regular basis. All around, Dr. Hutchinson is just one of those people you want to be on your team!
