Meet Dr. Elliott, one of our wonderful Associate Veterinarians here at Palisades Veterinary Clinic! 🐾
Dr. Elliott has been caring for animals since graduating from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 2003. She began her career in a small animal clinic in Charlottesville VA, but it wasn’t long before she felt the pull of city life and made Washington DC her home.
Growing up in a small town in west Tennessee, Dr. Elliott was always surrounded by animals from cats and mutts to Schnauzers, a Golden Retriever, turtles, and more. Her dream of becoming a veterinarian started early and never let go.
She’s also an accomplished equestrian who competed in the hunter jumper circuit from the age of 8. These days, she still rides for fun with her lively Thoroughbred Hungarian horse Toby. His mom, Little Fat, now enjoys a well-earned retirement back in Tennessee.
Dr. Elliott studied Biology at Washington and Lee University, and today she lives in Cabin John MD with her husband, two kids, and three beloved rescued pets. When she’s not at the clinic, you might find her cheering on the Capitals or Giants, going for a jog, testing out new recipes, or working on home renovations—often with a furry friend nearby.
If your pet has received care from Dr. Elliott, we’d love to hear your story! Feel free to share your happy tails and thank-yous. We pass every one along. 💚🐶🐱
