Veterinarian
Dr. Ashly LaRoche joined the Animal Hospital of Statesville team in 2007. Since then, she has continued to stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine and pushes the Animal Hospital team to offer the best possible care for patients and clients.
Originally from the Midwest, Dr. LaRoche received her doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois. After a decade of mixed animal medicine in the winters of Michigan, Dr. LaRoche and her husband, Paul, moved here to enjoy the warmer weather and, as she states, to "join the wonderful, supportive staff of the Animal Hospital of Statesville."
Dr. LaRoche is a skilled clinician and surgeon, often solving the most difficult cases of internal medicine. She has advanced training in endoscopy and veterinary imaging for additional diagnostics. her efficiency, honesty and humor allow her to connect with clients and provide excellent care for her patients.
Dr. LaRoche is so much fun to work with - you just never know what she's going to say! She loves watching old westerns (her father ran a movie theatre) and gets into ghost hauntings and interesting topics like Sasquatch and the Rougarou. A fount of useful (and NOT so useful) knowledge, she can hold her own on any subject! Ashly and Paul have a daughter, Claire. The family enjoys their Beagles, "Hook" and "Pan". She's also added chickens to her menagerie, which provide fresh eggs to many in her work family! Her family loves to hike, camp and just be together.
