Cherokee Trail Veterinary Hospital was founded in 1976 by Dr. Eddie Huckabee. Dr. Ginger Macaulay came to the practice in 1986 and purchased Cherokee Trail in 1998 when Dr. Huckabee retired. We have grown since that time, adding new staff and doctors. Dr. Heyward Boyette joined the practice in 1998 and became a partner in 2000. We moved into our new, state-of-the-art facility in 2005
