Dr. David W. Highsmith
Years in practice: 27
Education: University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine
Dr. Highsmith was born and grew up in Raleigh, N.C., where he attended NC State University as an undergraduate. Since there was no veterinary college in North Carolina at that time, he attended the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated in 1975. Moving back to the Raleigh area, he practiced in a small animal practice for 10 years. In 1985 he moved to Wilmington to work at Hardison Animal Hospital. Two years later, he purchased the practice, renamed it Highsmith Animal Hospital, and has continued to expand and improve the practice since. In 2009 he relocated the practice to a new physical facility built to his specifications.
