Dr. Savanna Richey

Dr. Savanna Richey attended Louisiana Tech University where she earned her Bachelor Degree in Animal Science. She then completed her studies and obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine as a graduate of Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine. She is originally from Alexandria, Louisiana. After graduating in 2013, Dr. Savanna spent her first year and a half in practice at a private small animal hospital, then began working for Banfield in Bossier City, Louisiana. She transferred to Baton Rouge Banfield on Siegen Lane in 2015, where she practiced for 4 years. In 2019, she decided to begin a new chapter, return to private practice, and joined us here at Azalea Lakes. Her special interests include dermatology and soft tissue surgery.

Dr. Richey enjoys healthy gourmet cooking, home gardening, working out–particularly yogalates, and making lasting memories with friends and family. She is also very involved in pageantry, and is a former Mrs. Louisiana America. She and her husband, Tommy, enjoy spoiling their standard poodle, Harley, 'poma-poodle' Kammie, and 'shih-poodle' Hadlie. They also have Peruvian Guinea Pigs (Basil and Scarlett), a leopard gecko (Lagertha), and many backyard fancy goldfish!

  • “LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Azalea Lakes. It was recommended to me by a friend and I've been a client/"family member" for the past 8ish years. They love their clients, their staff, and their animals. I live on the other side of town and I will happily make the drive to get there because of how they treat me and have treated all of my animals.”

    Cora B.

  • “Izzy is our new puppy. She loves doctor Gretchen! We've been taking the cats there for 15 years. Now we'll be taking the dog for 15 more. There is no other staff I would trust with my animal children.”

    Jamie S.

  • “They care about animals & owners, it is why they do everything they do & it shows!”

    Mike D.

  • “I love these doctors!! I wish I had known about them years ago. I have a very difficult 20 pound cat that was usually a terror at the vet but the first time I brought her in to Dr. Susie she was very calm and just lay there while Dr. Susie checked her out. I have a rescued Persian cat and a teacup poodle that have seen each of the doctors at Azalea and they love all of the ladies. The office staff is awesome, also. I would highly recommend Azalea Lakes to anyone.

    Carol C.

  • “Everyone at the clinic is so helpful! They care about the babies brought in and treat them that way! They understand that these "pets" are apart of your family and will give them the best care as if they were there own. I will never leave! Thank you for all of you wonderful experiences!”

    Shasta F.
