Dr. Tran is honored to carry on the legacy of Tar River Veterinary Hospital, which has proudly served the community since 1989. She is grateful for the opportunity to continue the tradition of compassionate, high-quality care established by the Dr. Elyse Goldman.  She received her bachelor degrees in both Zoology and Psychology (with minors in Microbiology, Genetics, and Philosophy) at North Carolina State University in 2001 and completed her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from NCSU-CVM in 2005.  

Robert began working for Tar River Veterinary Hospital over 10 years ago as a Kennel Helper and has never left. Robert currently works as a part-time receptionist.

Gabby has grown up at the Tar River Vet as the groomer's daughter and has always had a deep love for animals. She began working at Tar River in 2022 as a receptionist.

​

Gabby owns two dogs of her own, a Great Dane and a Frenchie. When she's not at work you can find her spending time with animals around the farm or spending time with her friends and family.

Jamie has been working as Tar River Veterinary Hospital's groomer for over 16 years, following her completion of Grooming School. Between 1996 and 2000, Jamie was one of our Kennel Workers.

Jamie lives on a small farm in Henderson with her husband and 3 children. Jamie and her family hope to soon breed, promote, and protect the endangered American Cream Draft Horse. The Dorans have many animals on their farm including dogs, cats, turkeys, chickens, peacocks, pet rats, a chinchilla, a ferret, a donkey, and of course horses.

Kylie began working at Tar River shortly after graduating High School in 2022 in order to gain some experience in the Veterinary field. She loves to help out doing whatever she can, from assisting with the animals, to helping out at the reception desk. Kylie owns three dogs, all mutts and total sweethearts! 

Stephanie is an amazing addition to our team!
