Practice Owner

Dr. Joshua Ardoin

I was born and raised in Ossun, LA. I graduated from Carencro High School in 2006. I received a B.S. in Animal Science at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I then enjoyed the island life while obtaining a medical degree from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. I am married to my high school sweet heart, Morgan, and am the father to the two most beautiful girls in the world. During my spare time I enjoy camping, hunting, and fishing as well as cooking and spending time with family and friends.

Practice Manager

Christie Hanks

Having over 25 years of experience working in veterinary medicine has shaped Christie into the skilled technician and manager that she is today. She attributes the majority of her training to the exceptional veterinarians that she has had the privilege of working with throughout her career.

When working as a veterinary technician, her favorite part of the job was helping to save the lives of the many pets that have crossed her path. As practice manager, she enjoys making sure the hospital runs smoothly and trying to be the best team leader that she can be.

Christie holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from the University of Louisiana @ Lafayette. Outside of work, she enjoys spending quality time with her husband, her three beautiful children, and her grandson. She has multiple fur babies as well, that all hold a special place in her heart!
