Dr. Lauren Tucker-Taylor

Dr. Lauren Tucker-Taylor was born and raised in Ruston, Louisiana. Throughout her childhood, she was exposed to numerous classes of animals. Of those classes of animals, livestock and wildlife were permanent. The livestock sector is what really fueled her desire to become a veterinarian. She attended Louisiana Tech University on an agriculture scholarship and obtained her Bachelors Degree in Animal Science. Dr. Tucker-Taylor attended veterinary school in Pomona, California. She graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine at Western University of Health Sciences.
         Dr. Tucker-Taylor experienced externships within the food animal arena as well as exotics and wildlife. She completed externships at large animal practices and zoos across the nation. She has a special interest in working with cattle, goats, deer, wildlife, and any exotic animals (birds, reptiles, small mammals, etc).
        Dr. Tucker-Taylor joined Cooper Veterinary Hospital in June 2008 and is looking forward to treating all species of animals. She lives with her Australian Shepard “Lucy”, her Himalayan cat “Clara”, her two 80 pound Sulcata Tortoises, and her 6 Quarter Horses.
