Dr. Strope is a Lincoln County native. She attended the University of Tennessee to obtain her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. She continued on to attend the University of Tennessee’s College of Veterinary Medicine to earn her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) and her Master’s of Public Health (MPH). She returned home to another local clinic before exploring better opportunities for professional growth.
She purchased Park City Vet Clinic from Dr Jones in 2022, where she cultivated a skilled team who love to provide high quality medicine for every patient, and build relationships with their owners! It quickly became apparent that a larger facility was needed to continue to serve the community. The opportunity presented for a larger facility and allowed Dr. Warden to get a step closer to retirement.
Out of the office, Dr Strope enjoys spending time with her husband and two young sons. She also enjoys competing and training with her Boxers as well as her Boston Terrier, Nellie!!

Laura began working in a vet clinic during high school. She quickly realized she had a passion for helping animals. While continuing to work at the vet clinic, she enrolled in Columbia State’s vet tech program. This dedication of basically having two jobs paid off when she got her license. She was blessed to be able to purchase her grandmother's house where she lives with her husband and two kids. She has 3 dogs, 2 cats, and her pride is her chicken coop that has 10 hens who give her fresh eggs every day. Laura’s smile and positive energy are a bright spot for all our staff not to mention the clients.

She is married and lives on a small farm with 2 horses, 3 dogs and 1 cat. She enjoys visiting her daughter in Nashville, but if she is at home she is either quilting or planting flowers.

In her spare time, you can usually find her in the stands of the football stadium cheering on her son, or on the sidelines of the cross country track rooting for her eldest daughter. She enjoys traveling, crafting and shopping (especially at Hobby Lobby). We call her Mama Bear because she is always there for us when we need her and checks up on us when we're down.
