Dr. Geoffrey Riggin
Raised in Memphis, TN, Dr. Geoffrey Riggin has always been surrounded by animals - large and small. After obtaining a bachelor's degree in microbiology from the University of Florida, Doc returned to TN to receive his doctoral degree in 1989 from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine.
Whether your cat needs a yearly check up, your horse needs a pregnancy ultrasound exam, or your dogs needs serious orthopaedic surgery; rest assured that Dr. Riggin possesses the knowlege, expertise and gentle touch that each animal deserves.
When he's not helping your pets or maintaining the practice, Doc enjoys spending time outdoors, home remodeling and working on his classic 1967 Cougar. Dr. Riggin and his wife, Samm, own and operate a 40 acre farm in Greenback.
