Mark Green, DVM
Dr. Green is a native of Tennessee and has wanted to be
a veterinarian since he was eight years old. He received his DVM Degree in 1982
from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine and was married
to his wife of 29+ years, Mary Ann, the day after graduation. His veterinary
career started in Salisbury, NC as the 3rd doctor in a large and small animal
practice. From this experience, Dr. Green claims to get his "James Herriot
Stories." In 1984, he and Mary Ann established Mallard Creek Animal Hospital in
the University Area of Charlotte. He was the doctor...she was everything else.
The practice initially served dogs, cats, and horses. As the area changed from
rural to suburban, the practice emerged as a multi-doctor small animal practice.
Dr. Green and Mary Ann have one college age daughter, Cameron.
In 1998, Dr. Green enrolled in a 2 year post doctoral program offered by the
University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in small practice
management. From this interest he taught the Professional Development Course at
North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine, a practice management
course for junior students for 6 years.
Dr. Green is a strong supporter of organized veterinary medicine. He has served
as President, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer, and Board Member for the
North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association, and as a member on two national
committees for the American Veterinary Medical Association.
The NCVMA has honored him as "Veterinarian of the Year," as recipient of the
"Martin Litwack Award for Service to the College of Veterinary Medicine,"
and with two "Presidential Awards." The University of Tennessee College of
Veterinary Medicine honored him as an "Outstanding Alumnus." Dr. Green has
served on the Board of Director for the North Carolina State College of
Veterinary Medicine's Foundation, and he and Mary Ann have endowed a scholarship
to this college. They have also founded a pre-veterinary scholarship at the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Dr. Green has most enjoyed the privilege of working with people who care for
their pets, from birth to the celebration of a well-lived life, he appreciates
the trust that families have placed in him and in his practice.
Currently he is seeking "quality of life" as a husband, father, son, and
practice owner and enjoying his "mid-life crisis," a second redhead in his
life....a quarter horse filly named "Rue". When not at work, he can be found
fishing, or running the occasional 1/2 marathon.
The Green Family consists of three humans, one dog, one cat, one horse, and
Merlin-the clinic bird.
