Overton Veterinary Hospital, PC (d.b.a. Irby-Overton Veterinary Hospital) was established in 1992, when Dr Beth Griffin-Overton (Auburn 1988) purchased Dr L.E. Irby's practice which he established in the 1940's.  Our practice is a very well known and respected veterinary hospital in the Mobile, Alabama area.

Great Oaks Veterinary Hospital was established in 1997 in a shopping center leasehold.  We quickly outgrew the space and moved to a freestanding location in 2009.

Mobile Alabama is located a short distance from Alabama's beautiful gulf coast beaches, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and Dauphin Island which is home to Dauphin Island Fishing Rodeo.  

Magnolia Grove, Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is located just a few miles from our hospital.

Educational opportunities in Mobile include University of South Alabama, which also has a medical school, College of Mobile and Springhill College to name a few of our universities.  Mobile has many excellent primary and secondary public and private schools including the prestigious Alabama School of Math and Science.

Mobile is located close to the Mississippi Gulf Coast casinos. Mobile is home to the Senior Bowl and hometown of Hank Aaron.

Mobile is a fun place to live and a great place to raise a family!

The larger Schillinger Road location is where we perform our orthopedic procedures and we have fracture plating equipment and equipment to perform extra-capsular ACL repair.  We have a surgical laser which aids in the reduction of surgical pain and hemorrhage at this location as well as a Ligashure vessel sealing system.  We use an incubator here to warm and provide oxygen to our newborn puppies and kittens.  We perform TCI's using a Karl Storz endoscopy unit.  This unit also allows us to perform Rhinoscopy as well as scope the stomach, upper GI and descending colon.  We have video otoscopes in each exam room which allows clients to see what we see.

We also have a dental X-Ray unit which is currently at our Great Oaks location
