About Vet

I have been working in small animal Veterinary Medicine since 2005 with a special interest in Dermatology, Preventative care, Nutrition, and Behavior medicine. Working with animals has been my passion since childhood and continues to be with each passing year.

Please note - Telemedicine is currently regulated on a state level. Each state has their own regulations about whether or not a VCPR can be established via telemedicine, and whether or not the veterinarian can prescribe medications. Due to state regulations, I cannot prescribe medications to patients in NC, SC, NY, or Fl in most cases. Additionally, if I am not licensed in your state, I cannot prescribe medications to your pet. I am, however, happy to consult with you about your pet and any medical concerns you may have. I’m also happy to provide and discuss information regarding your pet’s medical issues, treatments, as well as provide other options for care that do not include prescription medications for all pets in all states!

I was so worried about my dog after his surgery and being unable to get veterinary care during the holidays but Dr. Sparks put my mind at ease and gave me step-by-step instructions to help Bruno. It was the best gift I could’ve gotten for the holidays.
