MEET OUR TEAM!
Chelsea Gee, DVM
Owner / Veterinarian
Dr. Chelsea Gee is a native Oklahoman who spent the greater part of her childhood barrel racing. She received a bachelor’s degree from Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford, OK in 2012. That summer, while attempting to fix an issue with her barrel horse, she decided to pursue her original dream of becoming a veterinarian. She then attended Oklahoma State University and received her second bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, followed by her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. Upon graduation, she completed an internship at Oakridge Equine Hospital allowing her to expand her knowledge in equine medicine.
Before purchasing Meeker Animal Hospital, Dr. Gee worked in multiple clinics ranging from small and mixed animal practices, to relief shifts at emergency hospitals. These experiences in General Practice and surgery prepared her for taking on the role of practice owner and she is beyond excited to be here!
Dr. Gee married her husband, Cale in 2015. Together they have two rambunctious children, Wyatt and Shelby. They have three horses, a mule and a lovable corgi, Augustus McCrae. In their spare time they enjoy traveling and attending sporting events. On game day weekends you will find them cheering on their alma mater. Go Pokes!
