She graduated from the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, with a B.S. in Biology. She attended the College of Veterinary Medicine at UGA and graduated in 1994. In 1999, she and her husband Brett opened Long Point Animal Hospital and have since welcomed two beautiful daughters into their home along with their current three dogs, three cats, and two clinic cats. When she isn't working or carpooling, Erin enjoys swimming, reading, volunteering, teaching Christian formation classes at Christ Our King Church, and napping! Her interests include medicine, geriatrics, and pain management.

Dr. Brett Burton attended USC Aiken, and graduated with a B.S. in Biology. He attended the College of Veterinary Medicine at UGA and graduated in 1994. Dr. Brett Burton is very focused on his work, but splits his time at the practice with his wife, Dr. Erin Burton, so he can be actively involved in his children's lives. Dr. Brett Burton is a huge hockey fan and plays adult league hockey. He enjoys swimming, working out, and live music. His first love is working with cats; we call him the cat whisperer at our office!
