Our Veterinarians
Dr. LaTanya Maney
DVM
Dr. Maney was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, with her many brothers and sisters. She was always interested in medicine and is passionate about keeping the bond between pets and owners strong and healthy.
LaTanya's veterinary career started the summer after she turned 15. She worked a vet clinic through a program sponsored by the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. She ended up attending Tennessee State for her undergrad degree in Agriculture, then stayed there to receive her DVM degree. After graduation she moved to Georgia and has been a practicing veterinarian at Stockbridge Animal Hospital since 2003.
Dr. Maney has two dogs, both of which she rescued from the clinic. Nyla is a pit bull mix who loves chewing on everything. Jelli is a Lab/sharpie mix who enjoys chewing on whatever Nyla hasn't gotten to yet! When time permits, LaTanya enjoys reading science fiction or horror novels. She even writes the occasional story or poem when the notion hits. She also participates in the Peachtree road race every year.
Dr. Gordon Waggoner
DVM, Practice Owner
Gordon's father, James Waggoner, opened Stockbridge Animal Hospital in 1972. Young Gordon would come to work with his dad, helping out in the kennels and with surgeries and trimmings. The veterinary bug caught him early, and now he is the owner and a practicing veterinarian at the clinic!
Dr. Waggoner was born and raised in Stockbridge, then moved with his family to their McDonough farm when he was 16. He attended the University of Georgia for his Bachelors of Science degree, graduating in 2003, then graduated from vet school at St. George's University in the West Indies in 2008. He also holds an MBA from St. George's.
Gordon enjoys surgery because of the patience and precision it requires. He also likes getting to know clients and teaching them about their pets—he knows clients appreciate getting to know their pet's doctor!
