Dr. Morris

Dr. Morris grew up in Kingston, Jamaica. As a child, she developed a strong love for dogs and cats. She always knew that she would become a veterinarian. Dr. Morris migrated to the United States in 1980 and completed high school three years later at the age of 16. In 1987, she graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida with a BA in Biology. She then attended the University of Florida to do post-baccalaureate studies in microbiology. She received her DVM degree from Oklahoma State University in 1994, followed by advanced training as a medical and surgical intern at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. 

After leaving Tennessee in 1995, Dr. Morris moved to Atlanta where she worked in a large multi-doctor, multi-hospital group practice for eight years. It was working in this diverse environment that gave her the confidence and experience to open Morningside Animal Care Center in July 2003. 

Client education is an area that Dr. Morris especially enjoys. She likes dermatology and dentistry, as nothing seems to make a pet and its owner happier than when the “itching and licking” stops and there is no bad breath! Outside work, she enjoys playing racquetball, table tennis, and golf. She also likes to travel whenever she can get away.
