Dr. Mary Ann Adams Had Big Shoes To Fill
Becoming Teague's New Veternarian
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
DR. MARY ANN ADAMS of the Freestone County Veterinary Hospital invites everyone to bring their pets in for all their needs. She has expanded the veterinary hospital in many ways including a Radiology Department to make it a full care facility. Freestone County Veterinary Hospital is located at 238 E. Loop 255 (on the corner of Atwood behind Brookshire Bros.). For information or appointments call 254-739-3141.
Dr. Mary Ann Adams took over the only veterinary service in Teague following the sudden death of Dr. Allan Hicks. Dr. Hicks had been the vet in Teague for 40 years and it is sometimes hard for a new veterinarian to come into a small town and fill the shoes of someone who had taken care of the townspeople's animals for such a long time. Dr. Adams has done just that.
Since taking over the practice in 2010, Dr. Adams has expanded the Freestone County Veterinary Hospital and added a digital Radiology Department. “It is so great not to have to send out for xrays,” said Dr. Adams. “We can do it all right here and see the results immediately.”
They have made taking care of patients and their owners more effective by computerizing all data. “We even send out vaccination reminders now to help pet owners keep up to date,” she said.
Freestone Veterinary Hospital is geared to care for small animals, dogs, cats etc. They can handle trauma care and they do basic surgery such as spaying and neutering. High risk patients are sent to Texas A&M.
