Dr. Katherine McGee
Medical Director, Veterinarian
Dr. McGee serves as the Medical Director at Ouachita Pet Clinic, where she leads with a commitment to high-quality, compassionate veterinary care. With a strong clinical foundation and a passion for comprehensive patient wellness, she brings a broad range of interests to the practice—including dentistry, internal medicine, integrative medicine, ultrasound, and behavior. She is particularly dedicated to implementing Fear Free handling strategies to help reduce stress and anxiety for her patients during visits.
Dr. McGee values both preventive care and surgical excellence, striving to partner with pet owners in every stage of their animal’s life. She believes in treating the whole pet—physically and emotionally—and enjoys exploring multiple approaches to health and healing.
Outside the clinic, Dr. McGee enjoys a full and active life with her beloved husband and two young children. Together, they love spending time outdoors, fishing, hunting, going to the beach, and exploring new places through travel. She enjoys attending plays and live performances whenever possible. She also finds joy and balance through painting and playing the piano in her free time. Dr. McGee graduated from LSU where she loves cheering on her alma mater in sports and academic achievements.
Whether it’s performing a routine wellness exam or managing complex medical cases, Dr. McGee is honored to support the health and happiness of pets and the people who love them.
