Dr. Lynn Britton, DVM
Dr. Lynn Britton is excited to bring acupuncture and regenerative medicine services to Huntsville Veterinary Specialists and Emergency.
Originally from Birmingham, Alabama, Dr. Britton graduated from Vestavia Hills High School before moving to Lafayette, Louisiana, to play softball at the University of Louisiana. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and was recognized twice as an Academic All-American and four times as an All-American in softball.
After briefly teaching high school English, Dr. Britton decided to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. She graduated from Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 and completed a rotating internship at Central Texas Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Hospital in Austin, Texas, in 2007. She then completed a surgical internship in 2008 and a surgical residency in 2011, both at Veterinary Specialists of Rochester in Rochester, New York. Since completing her residency, she has worked as a surgeon in private practice.
Throughout her career, Dr. Britton has embraced a multimodal approach to pain management, seeking effective ways to improve comfort, mobility, and quality of life for her patients. This philosophy led her to explore the benefits of Chinese medicine. She earned certifications in Veterinary Acupuncture and Palliative and End-of-Life Care through Chi University in Reddick, Florida, and has also pursued extensive training in Chinese herbal therapy.
Dr. Britton was first introduced to veterinary rehabilitation during her surgical residency and is preparing to complete her certification in Rehabilitation Therapy. She has also incorporated regenerative medicine into her practice to expand the treatment options available to her patients. By combining traditional veterinary medicine with integrative therapies, she develops individualized treatment plans for pets with orthopedic, neurologic, metabolic, and even emergent conditions. Her goal is to help every patient remain comfortable, active, and engaged while improving and extending their quality of life.
Outside of the hospital, Dr. Britton enjoys music, hiking, traveling, quilting, and reading. She especially treasures time with family and close friends and is an avid sports fan. Her animal family includes one dog, Atticus; three cats, Gibson, Martin, and Rocky Carl; a Betta fish named Tabasco; and a community tank of freshwater fish.
