Tail blazers: Unleashing Love & Care

Dr. Adrienne Price-Williams is the heart and soul behind Premier Animal Wellness & Surgery Hospital (PAWSH). As the founding owner and a devoted veterinarian, Dr. Price-Williams has always aspired to create a place where the health and well-being of animals are the foremost priority. Her dream, which has become a reality with the opening of PAWSH, is founded on a deep-seated belief in a better world for both animals and the people who cherish them. She and her team understand the unique journey animals take us on, embracing both the highs and lows. Their personal experiences with animals fuel their exceptional care, focusing not just on treating pets but significantly improving their lives. This profound understanding and commitment form the essence of PAWSH, a place where education, empathy, and trust are as vital as medical expertise.

A Team That Cares

Dr. Adrienne Price-Williams

DVM, Owner

Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, Dr. Price-Williams is a summa cum laude graduate from Auburn University. She has dedicated her life to veterinary medicine since she was 15, and her general practice at PAWSH is a culmination of years of experience and a lifelong passion for learning. Dr. Price-Williams does not limit her interest to one aspect of veterinary medicine; she finds joy in the ever-evolving nature of the field, especially when it involves caring for the “squishable” members of our families—puppies and kittens!

Her connection with animals extends beyond her professional life. Living on a farm, Dr. Price-Williams has a deep affection for her eight horses, including Tennessee Walking and Rocky Mountain breeds, not to mention the best barn cats, a growing flock of complex chickens, two house dogs, and her indoor cat, Mia, who undoubtedly runs the show. Her profound knowledge and love for animals shine through in every aspect of her life.

When not tending to animals, Dr. Price-Williams enjoys a range of activities that reflect her vibrant personality. She is an avid horse rider, a camping enthusiast, and loves to travel. Her green thumb, albeit more successful with weeds, showcases her love for gardening. A lover of coffee, chocolate, baking, and party planning, she brings the same enthusiasm to her hobbies as she does to her profession.

Dr. Adrienne Price-Williams is a dedicated owner, wife, and mother. Her commitment to animal welfare, her extensive experience, and her warm personality make her and her team at PAWSH the kind of caregivers every pet parent seeks: knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy.
