Animal Doctor

OUR DOCTORS

Karen Hinkle, DVM

​Dr. Hinkle received her veterinary degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1990. She practiced as an associate veterinarian at several high-volume suburban Chicago hospitals and started a veterinary house call practice before purchasing Town & Country in 2001. Dr. Hinkle is married to Hospital Administrator, Tom Sullivan, with whom she has three children, two dogs and four cats.

Dr. Hinkle knew from a very young age that she wanted to be a veterinarian after experiencing the loss of a beloved cat, “Blinstrubus”. Her pet had developed meningitis and suffered a devastating infection.  Dr. Hinkle knew that if she learned enough, she would be able to save the lives of other pets like Blinny and help to ease the pain of people who battle disease and illness in creatures that give us all so much love and comfort.

In addition to owning Eaton County’s only accredited veterinary facility, Dr. Hinkle is also the President of the Mid-State Michigan Veterinary Medical Association, a member of the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Accepting New Patients

I’ve been taking my pets to T&C for decades and I won’t take them anywhere else. The staff there is so kind and understanding and treat my fur kids as if they are their own.
