Dr. Katie Linderman
DVMDr. Katie Linderman has lived most of her life around Chattanooga, Tennessee. She recently relocated to the Asheville area, having always loved the mountains, waterways, and the local culture. As an equine enthusiast, Dr. Linderman has owned many horses throughout her life, including four brilliant Friesians. She has since adopted a simpler life, which she shares with her Aussidor, who frequently accompanies her on local trails.
Showing an aptitude as a child for math and physics, she was recruited by Dr. Ray Hefferlin into the physics department at Southern University in Collegedale, TN, where she studied physics and math. Instead of continuing with a physics career, she decided to follow her lifelong passion for animals and entered the veterinary program at UT Knoxville, where she obtained her doctorate degree in 1998.
After working for a few different veterinary hospitals in the Chattanooga area, she purchased her own clinic, Standifer Gap Pet Hospital, in 2005. Always one to keep honing her skills, she saw a need for animal dentistry in the region and began to study with multiple board-certified veterinary dentists around the United States. Until her move, she established herself as the veterinary dentist of Greater Chattanooga, accepting referrals from a ninety-mile radius for advanced dental procedures.
We are excited to have Dr. Linderman who will focus exclusively on performing dentistry procedures, particularly more advanced ones, distinguishing her role from that of a general practice DVM here at Haw Creek Animal Hospital.
