Dr. Jim

DVM, MS

Dr. Jim Carson IV’s passion for veterinary medicine started early—growing up coming to the clinic with his dad, who is also a veterinarian and still practices here today. Fueled by curiosity (and occasionally by doing exactly what his dad told him not to!), Dr. Carson IV knew from a young age that veterinary medicine was his calling.

After earning his Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Louisiana, he pursued a Master’s in Immunology at Auburn University (War Eagle!). In 2012, Dr. Carson IV graduated from the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine, where he was honored with the Hershey Comeaux Memorial Award of Excellence.

Following graduation, Dr. Carson IV completed a one-year rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Hollywood Animal Hospital in South Florida. He joined Carson Veterinary Clinic in 2014 and has since become the proud owner of the practice.

Dr. Carson IV’s primary clinical interests include internal medicine, rigid and flexible endoscopy, general and restorative dentistry, and soft tissue surgery. He enjoys applying his skills to provide comprehensive care that helps pets live healthy, happy lives.

Outside of work, Dr. Carson IV enjoys fly fishing, photographing birds, and spending time with his fantastic and patient wife, their three energetic boys, one little girl, and their lively golden retriever, Sasha.
