Dr. Carpenter’s veterinary interests include cardiology, dermatology and orthopedics, and she is a certified veterinary acupuncturist. She and her husband, Brian, are the proud parents of two children and two dogs: Dixie Diver, a golden retriever who loves water sports just as much as her humans. Tex, a schnauzer mix who enjoys lizard hunting and playing with his human siblings. When not working, Dr. Carpenter enjoys water skiing and water sports, spin classes, attending her children’s events, and dabbling in native landscaping.
