Dr. Detra Bryant grew up in Nelson County, Kentucky, where she resides today with her husband Jeff and two sons, Jacob and Thomas. She received her B.S. degree in Biology from the University of Louisville (but is a big UK fan). After graduating veterinary school in 2005 from Ross University on the beautiful island of St. Kitts, she completed her clinical year at Purdue University. She worked two years in private practice before serving her country as a US Army civilian assigned to the Public Health Command District Fort Knox.
Dr. Bryant was the Veterinary Medical Officer assigned to the Fort Knox Branch Veterinary Services from May 2007 – May 2013, where she was awarded the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service and the Achievement Medal for Civilian Services. In May 2013, Dr. Bryant purchased Buffalo Trace Veterinary Services, where she continues to serve hundreds of patients on a regular basis.
Outside the office, Dr. Bryant enjoys attending Jacob’s baseball games, Thomas’s ice hockey games, and spending time with Jeff, a full-time electronics technician on C130H aircraft in the Kentucky National Guard based in Louisville, KY. She also enjoys games, puzzles, playing the organ, and antique shopping. You may frequently see her sons at the office, especially during summer break.... Dr. Bryant’s favorite part of working at BTVS is getting to enjoy and love her career in a relaxed but professional atmosphere. “We always try to have fun and laugh. This career is stressful enough.” Dr. Bryant has several cats, 3 dogs, and 2 boys.
