Dr. Keith Tillman
Dr. Tillman has relocated to Mooresville from the Washington D.C. area to join our team at Village Animal Hospital in July of 2009. He was drawn to veterinary medicine after graduating from the University of West Florida with a degree in Systems Science and having a great career in software development. Shortly after he and his wife, Deb, were married their Australian Shepherd, Emerson, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and given a poor prognosis. Dr. Tillman was so deeply moved by his experiences with the doctors and nurses that took care of Emerson and the additional 6 months that veterinary medicine gave his family with their beloved pet, that some years later he took the plunge and applied to veterinary school.
After graduating from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine (Go Bulldogs!), he stayed at the school to complete an internship focusing on internal medicine, surgery, and critical care before joining Friendship Hospital for Animals in Washington D.C. He then practiced there for one year before deciding to move to the Mooresville area to be closer to Deb's family.
Dr. Tillman and Deb share their home with their dog Grace (an Australian Shepherd), a crazy Papillon mix named Bob, and their two cats, Kelley and Callie.
