Ashley Finan, DVM
Relief Veterinarian
Dr. Finan has been coming to the Myrtle Beach area since she was a child and first moved here in 2005 to attend Coastal Carolina University where she got her Bachelor’s degree. She went to St. George’s University for Veterinary school and did her clinical studies at the University of Georgia. Before moving back to the area to spend time with her favorite people (her grandparents) she worked as a medical director at an exotic/small animal hospital in Colorado for many years. She loves being a relief vet because she feels passionate about veterinary owners knowing their patients are being taken care of when they can’t be there themselves, and she strives to treat each pet like her own when she sees them. Her interests include exotic animals, internal medicine, and dermatology. When she’s not at work she enjoys seeing new places and has been known to book last-minute vacations as often as she can. While at home she loves walking the beach looking for shark teeth with her 2 dogs and her husband.
