Laurie Anne Walden, DVM
Dr. Walden received a Bachelor of Arts and Science as a South Carolina Scholar from the University of South Carolina and a DVM from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  She also completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Auburn University before joining the staff of Mallard Creek Animal Hospital in 1995.

Dr. Walden enjoys the variety provided by general practice, and has a special interest in diseases of the eye.  She has been a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners since receiving the senior student award from that organization in veterinary school.

Although her practice at Mallard Creek is limited to furry animal, she has worked with fish and reptiles during her training and has fond memories of doing knee surgery on an iguana during her internship at Auburn.  She had a job as a goat milker and farm hand during veterinary school at NC State, and still gets to play with her parents' goats on visits home to South Carolina.

Dr. Walden lives in Charlotte with her husband, Gary, two children, one cat, and two dogs.  She plays handbells at Myers Park United Methodist Church and also enjoys reading, contra dancing, and cooking...especially desserts.
