Beth Johnson
DVM, DACVIM (SAIM)
Dr. Beth Johnson obtained her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Purdue University. After a year rehabilitating wildlife in Sanibel Island, Florida, Dr. Johnson continued her education with a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center in Norwalk, CT followed by a residency in small animal internal medicine at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, TN. After obtaining board certification with the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Dr. Johnson remained at the University of Tennessee as an Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine for 5 years before moving to Charleston, SC.
Dr. Johnson understands that animals can’t communicate or comprehend hospitals and medical procedures in the same way we do. She therefore prioritizes maximizing comfort and reducing stress during exams and procedures. She has practiced veterinary medicine both as a house call provider and an in-clinic provider, where her goal is best medicine with an emphasis on quality of life.
Outside of work, Dr. Johnson can be found with her wife, Gretchen, and their own four-legged family, Wilbur, Winston, Maggie, Dewey, Una-Shrimp and Sophie, running, boating, reading a good book or still exploring all of the adventure Charleston has to offer.
