Veterinarian and Owner
Dr. Morris grew up in Kingston, Jamaica. As a child she developed a strong love for dogs and cats. She always knew as a young child that she would become a veterinarian. Dr. Morris migrated to the United States in 1980 completing high school 3 years later at the age of 16. In 1987 she graduated from Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida with a BA degree 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 at a medical and surgical intern at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. After leaving Tennessee, Dr. Morris moved to Atlanta in 1995 where she worked in a large multi doctor, multi hospital group practice for 8 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, Dr. Morris enjoys playing racquetball, table tennis and golf. She also likes to travel whenever she can get away.
