L. M. Averitt, DVM graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 1981. She moved to Toano, Virginia and purchased the Toano Animal Clinic in May of 1988. Twelve years later, in the year 2000, she relocated to the facility at 8105 Richmond Road.

Aside from taking care of her patients, Dr. Averitt likes to spend time with her own dogs. These include several Longhaired Dachshunds, which she breeds and shows. She also spends time with her two horses on her farm.

Her latest hobby is competing in Canine Agility with her Dachshunds. She also likes to help others with training their dogs in this sport, and holds classes at her farm on Saturday afternoons.
