Our Commitment to Continuing Education in Johns Creek Veterinary Care

At Medlock Bridge Veterinary Hospital, we believe your pets deserve the very best—and that starts with never stopping learning. Veterinary medicine continues to evolve with new research, advanced technology, and improved preventative care strategies. That’s why our doctors actively pursue continuing education throughout the year to bring the most up-to-date care to families in Johns Creek and the surrounding Alpharetta community.

In January, Dr. Tina Ballon attended the prestigious North American Veterinary Conference—one of the first and largest veterinary conferences in North America. This event brings together leading experts to share the latest advancements in diagnostics, treatment options, surgery, and preventative care.

Dr. Ballon returned with valuable insights that are already influencing how we approach wellness care, disease prevention, and treatment planning. Our goal is simple: combine compassionate care with the most current medical knowledge available.

Dr. Leslie Koenig looks forward to attending the Emerald Coast Veterinary Conference this May. This conference provides in-depth education across multiple specialties, including internal medicine, surgery, dentistry, and preventative healthcare.

Her dedication to ongoing training helps ensure we provide modern, evidence-based veterinary services to pets throughout Johns Creek and Alpharetta.

Dr. Karen Colson recently attended the Music City Veterinary Conference at the end of February, gaining valuable clinical updates to enhance patient care.

She also participates in the Georgia Veterinary Medical Association’s VetSouth Fall Veterinary Conference each fall. These conferences allow her to collaborate with fellow veterinarians, stay ahead of emerging trends, and refine advanced treatment techniques.
