Veterinarian Overview
Dr. Ferrells desire to become a veterinarian started when she was young, partly, of course, because she loved furry critters of all types. As she got older, though, she discovered that she also loved biology and other sciences. Now she gets to live her dream of providing quality care in a welcoming environment as a full-time veterinarian and the co-owner of Perimeter Veterinary Center! Andrea was born in Oklahoma City, although because of her dads Army job her family moved all over. She even spent three years in Germany when she was young. Throughout high school and college, Dr. Ferrell worked in a veterinarians office and gained experience in the various things veterinarians do every day. Andrea attended Kansas State University where she received her BS and DVM. In August of 2012, after 11 years of practice, Dr. Ferrell opened Perimeter Veterinary Center along with Dr. Regehr.As a veterinarian, Dr. Ferrell is especially passionate about teaching preventative and wellness care, as well as getting to know her clients and guiding them through all aspects of caring for their four-legged family members. She and Dr. Regehr strive to make visits to Perimeter Veterinary Center a different kind of veterinary experience they receive no greater compliments than when dogs run in the door with tails wagging or cats readily hop out of their carriers for treats and snuggles. At home, Andrea has three pets of her own: her two dogs Jiggy and Gidget, who are both under 12 pounds but think theyre Great Danes, and her cat Corey, who loves to snuggle and greets her at the door every day after work. Outside of work, Dr. Ferrell enjoys arts and crafts, and regularly draws and paints. She also enjoys working on her house, jogging, and spending time outdoors.
