Dr. Andrew Verdin
Veterinarian, Practice Owner
Andrew’s early exposure to veterinary medicine includes a story straight from the pages of James Herriot’s “All Creatures Great and Small.” Andrew is the son of Dr. Verdin, founder of Verdin Veterinary Services. One warm summer evening, when Andrew was just a small boy, he accompanied his father to a farm call around dusk. Andrew stood by and watched his father help a mama cow birth her little calf. While Andrew had been on farm calls before, this particular evening holds a special memory for him. When he enjoys a quiet evening right around dusk, he recalls that memory that helped to shape his career as a veterinarian!

Dr. Daniel Moore
Veterinarian, Practice Owner
Daniel’s first veterinary medicine job showed him that veterinarians work on many species of animals. Working at a southeast Georgia animal clinic, Daniel often saw dogs, cats, horses, and cows on the patient appointment schedule. In addition, the veterinarians saw bears, deer, ostriches, and bobcats on occasion. While Daniel was originally hired as a kennel employee, he eventually picked up veterinary assistant, receptionist, and grooming skills as well. Looking back, Daniel realized that his diverse introduction to veterinary medicine helped to shape the career that he loves today!
