Dr. McDuffee practicing for 33 years. She really does try to treat patients as she treats her own pets and gives the client all the information they need to make informed decisions on the care their pets need. She works part-time for the Veterinary Information Network (VIN), which is an online community with over 85,000 veterinarians around the world. She like the North Georgia Mountains as often as she can chasing waterfalls, and she is active in the presbyterian church and in the P.E.O Sisterhood. She loves that she can live in a rural area but still be closed enough to the city if needed.
