About US

Stage Road Animal Hospital was founded by James R. Pearce, DVM in 1974. Dr. Pearce graduated from UT - Knoxville in 1968 (College of Agriculture) and Auburn University in 1972 (College of Veterinary Medicine.) Dr. Pearce has been caring for athletic dogs, Greyhounds and field trial dogs since 1974 providing them with crucial treatment such as canine ACL surgery . His special interest in orthopedics (bone implants and cranial cruciate ligament repair) has allowed him the opportunity to do TTA surgery on thousands of cases over the years. Dr. Pearce became board certified by the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in Canine and Feline Practice Specialty in 1982. We accept referrals from veterinarians in Arkansas, Mississippi, as well as all who need dog ligament surgery in Tennessee.
