The HousePaws team consists of Dr. Kim Bordelon and two wonderful veterinary assistants. 

Dr. Bordelon earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006.  She also earned her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2002 with a major in Animal Science.  After graduating from veterinary school, Dr. Bordelon was very excited to be accepted as an intern at Peterson and Smith Equine Hospital in Ocala, FL.  While in FL, she provided preventative care and extensive emergency care to many Thoroughbred breeding and training farms, as well as many sport horse farms.  Upon completion of her internship, Dr. Bordelon chose to come home to East Tennessee to work as a small animal veterinarian.  She has worked as a general practitioner and as an emergency veterinarian.  Dr. Bordelon believes that preventative care is extremely important for a long and healthy life for your pet, and this is the main focus of HousePaws. 

Dr. Bordelon is a member of many professional organizations that allow her to constantly advance her education and stay current on the newest trends in veterinary medicine.  These organizations include the American Veterinary Medical Association, Tennessee Veterinary Medical Association, and American Animal Hospital Association.

In her spare time, Dr. Bordelon enjoys spending time on Douglas Lake with her family and friends.  She also enjoys playing with her adorable Italian Greyhound, Pogo.
