Cathie Greenwell, BS
Cathie describes herself as “Dr. Easley’s driver,” however anyone who has met her knows that she is much more than that! For 15 years she has organized calls, kept the truck stocked, communicated with clients, maintained records, become a world reknowned equine intraoral photographer, and handled all of the little stuff that the veterinarians forget about. As an accomplished equestrian in her own right, she is very knowledgeable about bit fitting and has multiple published works including a chapter on bitting in Equine Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery.
In her spare time, she and her husband Shawn go camping with their two boys Andrew and George. She is also a very talented artist! Check out her Instagram below to see or purchase some of her work!
