OUR TEAM



Dr. Megan Hesson
Dr. Megan Hesson is a 2018 graduate of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. A Kentucky native, she moved to North Carolina after graduation to enjoy convenient access to both the mountains and the beach.
While Dr. Hesson enjoys all areas of veterinary medicine, her special interests include surgery, dermatology, and neurology. When she's not at work, you can find her spending time with her four rescue pets (two cats and two dogs), traveling, reading, and singing karaoke.


Dr. Kimberly Briggs
Dr. Briggs has known she wanted to be a veterinarian since she was five years old and loves every aspect of the profession. She attended Furman University for her undergraduate degree and always knew she would return to the Carolinas. After graduating from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, she moved to Charlotte with her husband and their two dogs.
Dr. Briggs's special interests in veterinary medicine include surgery, dermatology, and preventative care. Her favorite aspects of the field are building strong relationships with her patients and clients and helping pets live their healthiest, happiest lives.
Outside of work, Dr. Briggs enjoys traveling, crafting, hiking, and shopping. She especially loves relaxing on the couch with her two dogs after a long day.


Dr. Justin Yuen
Dr. Yuen grew up in sunny Southern California and has been passionate about animals from a young age. He received his bachelor’s degree in Animal Biology from the University of California, Davis, and earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Kansas State University. He loves working with pets to help them stay healthy and happy, while strengthening their bond with their owners. His primary interests include routine health care and surgery. In his free time, he enjoys watching and playing sports, playing the drums and piano, hiking, and spending time with his partner and their very stubborn, yet lovable, rescue dog, Jojo.
Dr. Deborah Stone
Dr. Stone is a graduate of Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. After obtaining her degree, she spent several years working in both Baltimore, MD, and Los Angeles, CA, before she and her husband settled in Charlotte. Dr. Stone enjoys both medicine and surgery, but she has developed a special interest in dental health and is now our go-to person for tooth extractions.
When not at Clear Creek, Dr. Stone stays busy with her two kids and their after-school activities—proudly serving as both a dance mom and a soccer mom. Her family also includes two cats, a bearded dragon, a crested gecko, and a sweet rescue Pitbull/Husky mix named Finn. Dr. Stone enjoys traveling, Pilates, ceramics, and pretty much all things crafty!
