Dr. George grew up on a large livestock farm where he developed a keen interest in the care of animals.  He received his veterinary degree from Michigan State University, and served in the U.S. Army caring for sentry dogs during the Vietnam War.  Following the practice of veterinary medicine in Michigan, he arrived in Mt. Pleasant in 1979 to start an American Animal Hospital Association accredited small animal clinic. He emphasizes preventive health, dentistry, and is skilled in ultrasonography and routine surgeries with the use of a laser machine.

He is a member, deacon, and past elder of the Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian Church, and a member of local, state, and national veterinary associations. He is past president of the South Carolina Association of Veterinarians (SCAV), and has served as the state association's delegate to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).  In 1999, he was honored with Veterinarian of the Year by the SCAV. 

He enjoys keeping physically fit with gym workouts, long walks (on the beach and mountains when possible), and bike riding.  He also enjoys reading, playing the piano and accordion, and drawing.
