Dr. Hickey joined the Admiral family as a full-time veterinarian in 2008. Dr. Hickey was born in Knoxville, then moved to Chillicothe, OH only to return to Knoxville to finish high school. When Dr. Hickey was 10 years old she told her Mom she was going to be a vet and stuck with it through hard work until the day she graduated vet school. She received her bachelor's degree at The University of Tennessee in biochemistry.
She then continued her studies at U.T.'s School of Veterinary Medicine where she graduated in 2008. Dr. Hickey worked as an associate vet at Admiral until she purchased the hospital in 2014. Dr. Hickey has loved animals large and small her entire life. She says one of her dreams came true the day she and her husband Charlie purchased Admiral Vet. Her goal is to provide the best care possible from the smallest mouse to the largest Great Dane we see.
Dr. Hickey is a strong advocate for animals being served by rescue groups. Helping provide care to animals that have been neglected and in need of a lot of love and attention is what drives Dr. Hickey.

Our wellness care program is designed to prevent illness and add quality to your pet's life.
Just like us, our pets can benefit from a routine wellness examination.
But unlike us, our pets age as much as seven times faster than we do.
And our pets can't tell us when they feel small differences in their wellbeing.
We often don't notice changes that could be easily detected with a simple examination and routine blood work.
Prevention is critical in preventing certain illnesses and diseases and can spare our pets unnecessary pain and suffering.

Radiography is a valuable diagnostic tool in veterinary medicine.
As we continually strive to offer the highest quality medicine and diagnostic testing, we are pleased to offer radiology services as a means of providing excellent care to our patients.
A radiograph (sometimes called an x-ray) is a type of photograph that can look inside the body and reveal information that may not be discernable from the outside.
Radiography can be used to evaluate almost any organ in the body, including the heart, lungs, and abdominal organs, as well as the bones.

Oral health is a critical part of keeping your pet's overall health.
The American Veterinary Dental Society reports that over 70% of cats show signs of oral disease by three years of age.
Periodontal disease is the most common disease of dogs.
In years past, we did not fully appreciate the importance of dental care for our pets.
We did not realize that the mouth can be the window to the entire body.
Since our four-legged companions are usually not whiners or complainers, we often did not know if they were in pain caused by a problem in the mouth.
