Raised in Columbia, South Carolina, Dr. Otis is a cum laude graduate of The University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine. His areas of interest include orthopedics, internal medicine, and oncology. Dr. Otis and his wife Kindall have two sons, Beau and Jack, and their canine sisters, Margaux and Rivers. In his spare time, Dr. Otis enjoys golf (when he plays well) and playing guitar [citation].
Dr. Otis is particularly happy over the strides made in veterinary medicine, which rival those of human medicine. He notes that Shandon-Wood offers a well-equipped surgical suite with laser surgery, laparoscopy, endoscopy, ultrasound, otoscopy, and anesthesia monitoring. He also emphasizes the use of balanced, modern anesthetic protocols to maximize patient safety and minimize stress. Additionally, analgesic agents are used to manage postoperative pain and ensure a comfortable recovery [citation].
Dr. Otis and his wife care for two adopted dogs at home. He understands that pets are family and treats each one as if they were his own. A recent visitor noticed a flower arrangement and inquired about the occasion. The owner of a cat who was terminally ill had sent flowers to Dr. Otis and the staff in gratitude for the tender compassionate care administered to her pet during its final days [citation].
