Dr. Hickey joined the Admiral family as a full-time veterinarian in 2008. Dr. Hickey was born in Knoxville, then moved to Chillicothe, OH only to return to Knoxville to finish high school. When Dr. Hickey was 10 years old she told her Mom she was going to be a vet and stuck with it through hard work until the day she graduated vet school.
We have created some online forms to make it that much easier to provide us with the information that we need to care for your pets! Find our single pet and multi-pet registration forms in the drop-down under the patient forms tab below.
Our wellness care program is designed to prevent illness and add quality to your pet's life. Just like us, our pets can benefit from a routine wellness examination. But unlike us, our pets age as much as seven times faster than we do. And our pets can't tell us when they feel small differences in their wellbeing.
Do you have a new puppy or kitten? Congratulations on this addition to your family! One of the first things you should do when you bring your new pet home is to introduce him or her to us - your veterinary care team. Puppy and kitten visits offer a unique opportunity to get you and your new pet off on the right foot!

As always, the staff, vet (Dr Hickey) and vet techs were wonderful--efficient, knowledgeable, and able to put both my dog and me at ease. They answered every question fully and took their time. A model veterinary practice!

Very nice staff, well equipped, and the veterinarian was both kind and knowledgeable. My local let actually referred me to this office because of their skill with dental work. It's a long drive for me, but the peace of mind is absolutely worth it!

I couldn't speak more highly of my experience with Dr. Stephanie Hickey as a veterinarian. We had two very sick pups, and she gave them the greatest of care and love. She was also amazing at walking with us as we were struggling with making the best decisions for our dogs. Any time we have a question about any of our animals, she is quick to respond with very knowledgeable answers. I'm so grateful for Admiral.

I have lived all over the states and this is the best veterinary practice anywhere. Dr. Hickey is highly knowledgeable in her field as is her entire staff. This is one veterinary hospital that I absolutely trust to care for even the most complicated and difficult of situations.

We've taken our fur babies here for the past 5 years and absolutely love this place! I have complete faith that my babies are being cared for by the Vets, and the entire office staff and techs are so kind. They are also affordable! When we had to make the hard decision to put one of our babies to sleep, they were so kind and caring. It was a relief that we could focus on our boy and feel he was deeply cared for the entire time. I highly recommend this place to all my friends and family!

We are new to having a pet and the staff at Admiral Veterinary Hospital has been by our side from the beginning. Dr. Hickey helped provide guidance to me when we were looking for our sweet pup and gave me questions to ask and things to look for when getting a new dog. They are very patient and always answer all my questions. They are very caring and professional.

Our sweet dog loves to go to the vet and see Dr. Hickey and her amazing staff. I cannot imagine what we do without them! I would highly recommend Admiral Veterinary Hospital to anyone!

Literally the BEST vet in town. They care, they listen, they take the BEST care of your loved pets. They have helped us learn how to better care for our pet by listening to us and consulting professionally with us. We trust Admiral Vet completely!

I adopted my beautiful Aussie from Dr. Hickey and visited her clinic for a microchip insertion. All of her staff members were wonderful with my dog and Dr. Hickey made the procedure quick and painless for my girl! I am a huge fan of Dr. Hickey and her staff and have sent many of my own clients to her for their veterinary needs!

Milly and Sophie happily walk into Admiral wagging their tails. The cats handle it well too. A professional staff that makes sure all of our questions and needs are answered fully.

Took my rabbit to get her spayed, was expecting the price to be higher and more of a hassle. However it ended up being extremely low even with the exam added on top of the spay. The spay itself was $130 and for spaying a rabbit the average price is $250 so was extremely satisfied and they took amazing care of her until we picked her up.
