Veterinarian
Dr. Mandy Roberts' first pet, a Siamese cat named Max, joined her family when Dr. Roberts was only four years old. She fondly remembers going with Max to the vet’s office, where he received vaccines and was declawed and neutered. Dr. Roberts tended to him when they got home, and she fell in love immediately. She decided right then and there that she was going to become a veterinarian herself!
Dr. Roberts grew up in St. Louis, Missouri as the oldest of three children. She began her veterinary career at the ripe age of 14, when she started as a kennel attendant at a pet clinic in Marietta, Georgia. By the time she was 18, she was assisting with exams, dental work, vaccines, and even surgeries! Dr. Roberts attended Auburn University after high school to study animal and dairy sciences before gaining acceptance into the University of Georgia’s College of Veterinary Medicine to earn her DVM degree.
Shortly before graduating from veterinary school, Dr. Roberts attended a University of Georgia and Auburn University tailgate event, where she first met Dr. Chapman. Although the two were cheering for opposite sides—Dr. Roberts was decked out in Auburn attire, while Dr. Chapman was supporting his beloved Dawgs —they connected, and Dr. Chapman invited Dr. Roberts to set up an externship here at the clinic. It didn’t take long for Dr. Roberts to realize that Hoschton Animal Hospital was exactly where she wanted to start her veterinary career! She’s been a part of the clinic family since 2006.
Dr. Roberts, her husband, and their children share their home with three lovable dogs: Scooter, Harley, and Molly. When she has a spare moment between her busy work and family schedules, Dr. Roberts enjoys bicycling, gardening, and playing the drums. She’s been a percussionist for over 15 years—she played the tenor drums in Auburn University’s drumline for three years, and currently plays for her church in Braselton.
