Dr. Ruthann Fox Carr is a native of Mason, Ohio. After 13 years experience at a busy Cincinnati practice, she returned to her hometown to open Mason Family Pet Hospital in 2003. She received her D.V.M. degree in 1989 from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. She holds a bachelor's degree, summa cum laude, from Miami University.
Dr. Carr grew up on Fox Run Farm in Mason where her family had cattle, ponies, dogs, and cats. Her father, Thomas E. Fox, M.D., was a popular family physician who served the community for over 35 years. These two influences stimulated her desire to become a veterinarian from a very early age.
Her favorite areas of veterinary medicine include surgery, ophthalmology, complicated internal medicine cases, and behavioral problem solving.
