In 1982 she moved to New Jersey and became a state regulatory veterinarian. She later moved back to Louisiana, and in 1989 earned a Ph.D. in Microbiology. She began working at Deepwood in 1989, and in 1996 she took over ownership of the clinic from her father-in-law, Dr. Robert Mouser. Dr Pool’s primary veterinary interests are unusual medical diagnostic cases, soft tissue surgery and general wellness care. She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
Dr. Pool and her husband, Bobby live on-site; she thinks of the clinic as her home away from home, and of her employees as one big extended family. When not working, she loves to visit with her three children and four grandchildren.

Dr. Clark grew up in rural Pennsylvania, spending many summers helping out on her grandfather’s dairy farm and the horse boarding barn across the road. Both of which fueled her love of animals big and small.

“Dr. Pool gave us 6 more months with our pal Rusty that he might not have had with another vet. She always called and checked in on him to make sure his quality of life was still good. And when the time came, she let us know that it was the right thing for Rusty. She has seen all of our dogs and has always gone above and beyond. We are very grateful for her. We are also grateful for Rusty’s ladies who worked there and loved him as much as we did. Thanks for everything you all did for Rusty. I would highly recommend Dr. Pool and her staff to anyone.”
