Welcome Dr. Couch! Dr. Kimberly Couch was born and raised on the Southwest Florida coast and has wanted to be a veterinarian since she was in kindergarten. She has worked in the veterinary industry since she was 16 years old, starting as a kennel technician and working her way towards becoming a veterinarian. She received her undergraduate degrees in Biology and Chemistry with a minor in Business Administration at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, FL in 2016. She then received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL in 2020. Go Gators!
Even before veterinary school, she was interested in natural remedies. She received her certification in veterinary acupuncture at Chi University and is working on her certificates in veterinary herbal medicine and veterinary rehabilitation (physical therapy). She has passion for integrating eastern medicine and western medicine together to provide the most comprehensive, holistic, treatment plans for her patients. She is also fear free certified and believes strongly in making veterinary visits more positive experiences for both pets and their owners.
Dr. Couch is happy to have called Asheville home for the last 4 years. In her free time, she loves spending time outdoors with her husband (Chad) and golden retriever (Franklin) reading at home with her two cats (Gypsy and Pebbles), practicing yoga, and tending to her plants and garden.
We are so excited to have Dr. Crouch join the Riversong Team!
