Meet Our Veterinary Team

Dr. Lynn H. Simons

DVM

Dr. Lynn H. Simons brings nearly four decades of veterinary experience to Aidmore Animal Clinic, where she has spent her career helping pets live long, healthy lives. A graduate of the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Simons has been practicing veterinary medicine for 38 years and remains deeply passionate about proactive, lifelong care for animals.

For Dr. Simons, one of the most rewarding parts of veterinary medicine is focusing on prevention and wellness. She believes there is something incredibly meaningful about helping pets stay healthy throughout their lives. As she puts it, seeing a 12-year-old dog still thriving because of years of attentive care and prevention is the true definition of success.

At home, Dr. Simons shares her life with two beloved cats, Georgia and Carolina. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, playing guitar, and practicing yoga.

Dr. Simons feels privileged to care for the pets and families in her community and looks forward to continuing to support their health and happiness for years to come.
