Learn about our history
Lake Area Animal Clinic began in its current location back in 1972. Dr. Scott Pollard left his practice in Seguin, Texas, and joined the practice in the spring of 1996. In 2006, Dr. Mike Culpepper moved to Llano from Spring, Texas, and joined the practice. Dr. Polly Wilde left our practice in February 2024 to be closer to home, and Dr. Pollard retired in September of 2024.
At present, Lake Area Animal Clinic and our veterinary team strive to provide the best healthcare we can for pets across the Highland Lakes Area.
