Mill Town Veterinary Clinic

Mill Town Veterinary Clinic emphasizes the importance of annual physical exams. Because pets have shorter lifespans and can experience many changes in just one year, regular check-ups are essential. Routine exams and blood work help us detect problems early, allowing us to act quickly and improve outcomes. We provide a full range of veterinary services to keep your pets healthy and comfortable. And if your pet needs specialized care, we’ll connect you with the right specialist

Dr. McGarity graduated from Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2008. He is a native of Charlotte and has always had a passion for pets. As a child, he loved taking care of the family's dogs and cats and enjoyed riding horses in Indian Trail. He attended Charlotte Catholic High School, where he met his future wife, Amanda. He attended NC State University and earned his bachelor’s degree in Animal Science. During high school and undergrad, he volunteered at Greenock Farm Veterinary Hospital in Midland, NC, where he worked alongside many proud Auburn University graduates who inspired him to attend Auburn for veterinary school. Eager to return to the Carolinas, Dr. McGarity and his wife relocated to Rock Hill, where he worked for nine years at Palmetto Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in the friendly, small town of McConnells. He later helped open Palmetto’s 2nd location in Rock Hill. Here, he learned a common-sense, practical approach to veterinary medicine. Dr. McGarity learned how to take care of pets’ and their owners’ needs, and to do this reasonably and efficiently. After nine years of learning the trade, Dr. McGarity decided he was ready to take on practice ownership. During the long year of planning and building his new practice, Dr. McGarity accepted a position at Long Animal Hospital in Charlotte. Here, he was exposed to the goings-on of a large, 13-doctor, 24-hour emergency clinic. With such a large caseload, it presented an excellent opportunity to learn new approaches and observe treatments and procedures that only a large hospital can offer. The entire Killough family was very supportive of Dr. McGarity’s endeavor, and his relationship with the Charlotte icon will remain an invaluable resource for him and his patients
