Team - Vet in Akron | Veterinary Wellness Center of Green

Dr. Troy Larson

DVM

Meet Dr. Larson! He is the owner of The Veterinary Wellness Center of Green, The Cat Clinic and Spa, and The Veterinary Wellness Center of North Canton. He always had a love for animals and feels that God was continually leading him towards being a veterinarian.

In 1994, with multiple scholarships in hand, he began his journey by attending the University of Akron. After three years, he was accepted directly into The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where he graduated in 2001.

After graduation, Dr. Larson spent his first couple of years in a mixed animal practice. He then returned home to Canton, where he worked with a large variety of animals, including exotics. During this time, he pursued continuing education and training in the area of orthopedics. Although he is not a specialist, he discovered that he enjoys the challenge of these more involved procedures and looks to continue expanding his abilities! In 2013, Dr. Larson purchased the Veterinary Wellness Center of North Canton. In 2019, he founded The Veterinary Wellness Center of Green (a dog only clinic) and The Cat Clinic and Spa (a cat only clinic).

Dr. Troy Larson is married to his amazing wife, Rachel, and they are currently raising their four boys: Isaac, Levi, Seth, and Elijah. These boys, along with their Whippet Chase, certainly know how to keep home life entertaining! Dr. Troy and Rachel are very involved in their church and in international mission’s work, traveling to Africa, Asia, and South America for over 25 years sharing the love of Jesus.

Dr. Emily Cameron

Dr. Emily Cameron grew up in the Cleveland area and always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. She attended the University of Findlay for her undergraduate education before moving onto the University of Tennessee (Go Vols!) for vet school, from which she graduated in 2023. Dr. Cameron has worked primarily in small animal practice and is excited to expand her veterinary career by joining our team and serving our community. Her career interests include internal medicine and neurology.

Outside of work, Dr. Cameron loves travelling with her husband, getting outdoors whenever possible, attending to her numerous houseplants, and trying out new recipes to cook and bake. She has a dog – Blue; two cats - Laila and Levi; and an aquarium with fish and snails - yes they all have names you can ask her about.

Dr. Cameron is looking forward to meeting all our wonderful clients and getting to serve you and your loved ones in our practice!

Amy Moore

RVT – Practice Manager

Meet Amy! Amy is our lead RVT and one of our amazing practice managers. This is actually Amy’s second career. She spent about 14 years as a Senior Business Manager at a local Advertising agency prior to heading back to college in 2006 to become a Vet Tech. Along with management experience, she brings approximately 12 years of veterinary knowledge to our clinic. After passing her boards, she began working for a local specialty clinic in Internal Medicine, Surgery and Emergency for approximately 10 years. In 2017, she left her comfort zone to pursue a veterinary management position for a general practice group. She then found Dr. Larson in March 2019 and has never been happier.

Amy loves to educate, mentor and make people laugh. Client service and team building are her passion. In fact, with the help of her co-manager Michelle, they are successfully implementing a “team first and no gossip” agreement at our clinic. Both are very proud of this accomplishment. Amy feels that all of her life experiences,even from early age, have led her to be doing exactly what she is doing today.

Amy grew up (and still lives) in North Akron. She is owned by 2 cats and a dog; a 7-year-old black and white tabby named Bug, a 1-year-old buff colored tabby named Fig Newton, and a 5-year-old pug named Lamont.
