Dr. Teresa Gernon co-owned Magazine Street Animal Clinic with her husband, Dr. Scott Gernon since 2003.
They have since rebranded a new, state-of-the art, facility – East Riverside Veterinary Hospital.
Dr. Gernon grew up in New York and southern Illinois and moved to the Baton Rouge area while in high school. She attended Louisiana State University and majored in Pre-Veterinary Medicine before she went on to the Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Gernon was awarded her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1997.
Internal medicine, dentistry, and soft-tissue surgery are among her many professional interests. Dr. Gernon is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Southeast Louisiana Veterinary Association, and the Louisiana Veterinary Medical Association.
“When you’re a veterinarian, every day is a new experience and you’re always learning,” Dr. Gernon said of her profession.
She and her husband are the proud parents of three children: Sophia, Avery, and Bryce. The family includes three dogs: Marcel, Abby, and Luke, as well as three dwarf rats, three snakes, and eight pet chickens. When not busy with her duties at the hospital, Dr. Gernon enjoys gardening, exercising, and cooking.
