PLEASE WELCOME OUR NEW DR, Dr. E!
Dr. Vanessa Echeverri grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where her love for animals started early on. She began working in the veterinary field in 2006, gaining hands-on experience and quickly realizing how much she enjoyed helping both pets and their people.
She later moved to Knoxville, Tennessee to continue pursuing that passion, earning her undergraduate degree in Animal Science from the University of Tennessee in 2017. She went on to attend the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine (UTCVM), where she graduated with her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2021.
Dr. Echeverri has a special interest in preventative medicine and loves helping keep pets healthy before problems start, but she truly enjoys all aspects of veterinary care. For her, it’s all about building relationships with clients and making sure every pet gets the best care possible.
Dr. Echeverri is very happy to soon be joining the Blount Veterinary Clinic team and looks forward to caring for pets in the community.
Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, mountain biking, hiking, and getting lost in a good book. At home, she lives with her husband Jessie, a beagle (Luna) she’s completely obsessed with, and four cats (Missy, Josh, Purple and Peach) who definitely think they’re in charge.
