Our Clinic
About Us
Compassionate Care
Our veterinary hospital excels in preventative health care such as wellness exams, vaccinations, parasite screenings, and parasite treatments for cats and dogs. Smoky Mountain Animal Clinic in Seymour can also provide surgical procedures, dental extractions and prophylactic cleanings, emergency care during business hours, end of life care, and disease management. Itchy dog? Vomiting cat? We've got you covered!
We may be the only clinic around that also routinely takes in, cares for, and rehomes up to 50 cats and kittens a year! Check our lobby for available kitties throughout the year.
Our staff focuses on transparency, patient comfort, and collaborative efforts with pet parents for the best decision for pet care.
Experienced Veterinarians
Dr. Hill (2013), Dr. Armstrong (2013), and Dr. Sterling are all local graduates from the UT College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr Bello is an Oklahoma State graduate.
An Individual Approach
Your animal is special and unique and veterinary care should reflect that. We customize our annual vaccine recommendations and parasite prevention based on the risk to your pet and your convenience.
Woman Owned Local Business
Since Dr. Susan Sterling opened the doors in 1981, Smoky Mountain Animal Clinic has been 100% Locally owned and operated. We moved into our new building in 2014 and ownership changed hands to Dr. Lindsey Hill in 2018.
We believe this is important because most surrounding clinics have become corporately owned, which leads to increasing pet care costs, loss of personal a touch, and sends profits out of state instead of supporting our local employees and the community.
Our Doctors
Dr Lindsey Hill
Dr. Hill graduated at the top of her class from UT Vet School in 2013. She worked briefly in Maryville after graduation and has been a team member of Smoky Mountain Animal Clinic since 2014. She is the current owner and manager of the practice. She is originally from Maryville, TN and attended William Blount High School and Maryville College. Before vet school she volunteered for a local rescue group ARFNets and currently still actively fosters up to 50 cat and kittens each year. She lives with her husband, numerous cats, a German shepherd, and a goofy golden retriever. Interests include nature photography and reading historical nonfiction. *Hair color may vary!
Dr Jennifer Armstrong
Dr. Armstrong also graduated from UT Vet School in 2013 and completed an internship at Young Williams the year following. She was with Young Williams until joining Smoky Mountain Animal Clinic in 2017. She lives in Knoxville with her husband, 3 sons, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 birds. Interests include science fiction and jogging.
Dr Carl Bello
Dr. Bello graduated from Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1990 and has worked at various small animal practices in the U.S. and Canada. He has found a home in East Tennessee and has been a team member at Smoky Mountain Animal Clinic since 2023.
He lives in south Knoxville with his “wingman” Bruce the cat, and enjoys reading, hiking, and playing guitar when he is not working. *The only variation in his hair color is increasing gray.
