Norfolk, Va. (PHILLIPS & PETERS ATTORNEY’S AT LAW) — As a small business owner, facets of your personality will shine through the company you build, no matter what industry you’re in. Dr. Heather Brookshire is the owner and operator of Animal Vision Center of Virginia. As a veterinary ophthalmologist, she specializes in eye care treatment for animals so that they can see a better future to live full and healthy lives. In many ways, Dr. Brookshire’s passion for health and wellness has allowed her to build a business that creates a better future for her clients, her employees, and the Coastal Virginia community.
Like many veterinarians, Dr. Brookshire had a love for animals from a young age. Growing up in Michigan she spent her time volunteering in animal practices and later started her own dog walking business. After receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of Michigan, Dr. Brookshire went to Colorado State University to earn her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. It was during this time that she found her path in ophthalmology after one of her basset hounds was misdiagnosed and lost their eyesight to glaucoma.
