You never know....you may get to see Dr. Bassett or Dr. DeMent (pictured here).

🌟 Meet Our New ER Veterinarian! 🌟

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Caroline DeMent to our Meadowbrook Emergency & Critical Care team! 🐾

Dr. DeMent grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and she earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the College of William & Mary before going on to complete her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia. Prior to veterinary school, she worked as a veterinary technician—giving her a unique perspective on patient care and client communication.

Her special interests include supporting families through emergencies, strengthening communication with pet owners, and finding ways to reduce stress and improve comfort for patients during ER visits. ❤️

Outside of the hospital, you can find Dr. DeMent reading with her two cats, gardening, cooking, spending time with family, or exploring Florida’s incredible state parks. 🌿

Please join us in giving Dr. DeMent a warm welcome to Meadowbrook—we are excited for the skill, compassion, and dedication she brings to our community!
