Dr. Louise DeLong-Ladson (Dr. DeLong) grew up in Gainesville, Georgia and received her B.S. in Biology from the University of Georgia. She remained in Athens for an additional 4 years, graduating from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine with a DVM degree in 2005. After practicing small animal medicine at veterinary hospitals in Washington, D.C. and Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Dr. DeLong finally returned to Georgia and joined PetWell in September of 2016. She especially enjoys internal medicine, dentistry and soft tissue surgery and loves interacting with the patients at PetWell and educating clients about patient care.

Outside of the hospital, Dr. DeLong enjoys traveling, chasing after/sharing new experiences with her kids, and volunteering in the community. She and her husband, Johnny, live in Atlanta and have two children, Tee (2016) and Wren (2017). They also have one cat, Catfeesh, and a chocolate lab named Leeds, whom comes to work with mom every single day!
