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!!
