Dr. Green is a native of Tennessee and has wanted to be a veterinarian since he was eight years old. He received his DVM Degree in 1982 from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine and was married to his wife of 29+ years, Mary Ann, the day after graduation. His veterinary career started in Salisbury, NC as the 3rd doctor in a large and small animal practice. From this experience, Dr. Green claims to get his "James Herriot Stories." In 1984, he and Mary Ann established Mallard Creek Animal Hospital in the University Area of Charlotte. He was the doctor...she was everything else. The practice initially served dogs, cats, and horses. As the area changed from rural to suburban, the practice emerged as a multi-doctor small animal practice. Dr. Green and Mary Ann have one college age daughter, Cameron.

In 1998, Dr. Green enrolled in a 2 year post doctoral program offered by the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in small practice management. From this interest he taught the Professional Development Course at North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine, a practice management course for junior students for 6 years.

Dr. Green is a strong supporter of organized veterinary medicine. He has served as President, Vice-President, Secretary-Treasurer, and Board Member for the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association, and as a member on two national committees for the American Veterinary Medical Association.

The NCVMA has honored him as "Veterinarian of the Year," as recipient of the "Martin Litwack Award for Service to the College of Veterinary Medicine,"
and with two "Presidential Awards." The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine honored him as an "Outstanding Alumnus." Dr. Green has served on the Board of Director for the North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine's Foundation, and he and Mary Ann have endowed a scholarship to this college. They have also founded a pre-veterinary scholarship at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Dr. Green has most enjoyed the privilege of working with people who care for their pets, from birth to the celebration of a well-lived life, he appreciates the trust that families have placed in him and in his practice.
Currently he is seeking "quality of life" as a husband, father, son, and practice owner and enjoying his "mid-life crisis," a second redhead in his life....a quarter horse filly named "Rue". When not at work, he can be found fishing, or running the occasional 1/2 marathon.

The Green Family consists of three humans, one dog, one cat, one horse, and Merlin-the clinic bird.

Dr. Fluke has wanted to be a veterinarian since she was a youngster.  She thought she would practice on farm animals and horses... Imagine her surprise when she ended up specializing in dogs and cats! She earned her BA from Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, and graduated from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1986.  She completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Purdue University before moving to Charlotte in 1987.  She enjoys all aspects of veterinary practice, but often finds herself focusing on surgery and behavioral issues.

Dr. Fluke is a charter member of the Carolina Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen Club and enjoys showing her PBGVs. She does some scent training and competes in hunting trials.  She is also a board member of Samaritan House, a recuperative care facility here in Charlotte, where people who are homeless may stay to get well after being discharged from the hospital.  www.thesamaritanhouse.org

When not working or cleaning up after her dogs, she can be found in her garden, repainting her living room, or playing music with the Charlotte Folk Society.  www.folksociety.org
