Your Friends at Dacula Animal Hospital

Dr. Neal discovered his passion for veterinary medicine at an early age. Growing up, he spent countless hours on his grandparents’ farm in West Tennessee, where he found peace and fulfillment in caring for their many animals.

After graduating high school, he pursued his undergraduate studies at Alcorn State University in Mississippi before earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree from Tuskegee School of Veterinary Medicine in 2004. Following veterinary school, Dr. Neal gained experience in small animal care, emergency medicine, and shelter medicine while practicing in Las Vegas, Nevada. Eventually, he relocated to Georgia, where he worked in various veterinary settings across the Atlanta Metro Area, including Paws Atlanta, the Atlanta Humane Society, and several emergency veterinary clinics.

During this time, Dr. Neal met Dr. Tim Montgomery and Mrs. Montgomery while working as a relief veterinarian. His experiences in Dacula, along with the warmth of the community, made a lasting impression on him. With their support, he fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a practice owner on November 8, 2022.

“I am honored to serve the people and pets of Dacula, Winder, Auburn, and the surrounding areas. The warm welcome I’ve received has been a true blessing, and I am grateful to be here.”

We’re excited to introduce Dr. Olga Norris, a board-certified Small Animal Internal Medicine specialist dedicated to compassionate, high-quality care.

Dr. Norris earned her Biology degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (2010), then completed her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at Auburn University (2015). She went on to complete a rotating internship in Small Animal Medicine & Surgery at the University of Missouri, followed by a residency in Small Animal Internal Medicine and a Master of Science in Veterinary Biomedical Science at Kansas State University.

Since finishing her residency, Dr. Norris has practiced as an internal medicine specialist at a high-volume emergency and referral center. She enjoys all aspects of internal medicine, with special interests in ultrasonography and endoscopy, as well as gastrointestinal and endocrine disorders. Dr. Norris is highly experienced in abdominal ultrasound and minimally invasive procedures including GI endoscopy, rhinoscopy, and bronchoscopy.

Above all, she is committed to delivering the highest standard of care while keeping comfort and quality of life at the center of every plan—and she values close collaboration with referring veterinarians to ensure thoughtful, individualized treatment.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Norris loves the outdoors, traveling, spending time with her husband and children, and taking new gym classes. She’s also on a mission to visit as many national parks as possible
