Meet Our Team
Dr Brian King
The ring-leader of our group, as some would call him, is Dr. Brian King. He started practicing here in July 1993 and ‘bought the practice in 2005. Originally from Memphis, he achieved his degree at Mississippi State University. You may notice that the clinic is not your “run of the mill” clinic. Dr King is a lover of the arts, which is not only reflected in our colorful clinic with eclectic mix of local and world art pieces, but also in his presence on the music scene. He plays drums in the band Sho Nuff and can always been seen at local music venues. On weekends you may also find him out and about with his wife Liz and their 2 girls, Bella and Francesca. The 4-legged members of their family include 2 dogs, Annie and Gus.
Dr Lara Allison
Our main lady was born in South Africa and moved to Charleston in 1983. Dr. Allison has been here before; she was a full-time vet here in 1996-2001, then came back as a relief vet for us since 2009. Now, you can see her if you come in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Like Dr. Luke, she is also a graduate of the University of Georgia. She is also the proud parent of 2 children, Haley and Luke. She and her husband Tristan also have 3 cats, Wally Jones, Itty Bitty, Speddy, The LB, and The OK. Dr. Allison also has many other accreditations in alternative medicine practices and loves reading, boating, movies, music, and yoga.
Dr Gordon Luke
Our other main man around here is Dr. Gordon Luke. Originally from Summerville, he got his start here as a vet tech in 1992-1994.
