Dr. Randy Cottingham, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Cottingham is the Senior Partner at both Kitty Hawk Animal Hospital and Turning Stone Animal Hospital. He opened Kitty Hawk Animal Hospital in 1985 in the original 2900 square foot building with one receptionist and one helper. Later that facility was expanded to handle the growing number of clientele. In 2018, he and his partner, Dr. Amie Hooper, broke ground for the construction of Turning Stone Animal Hospital, which opened in March of 2020. Dr. Cottingham continues to practice, serving in the role of administrator for both hospitals as well as a part time surgeon. Many of his children (11) have worked at the hospitals over the years, most notably Kelli Mora as bookkeeper, Catie Avila as Practice Manager and Dr. Amie Hooper, Medical Director. If you have visited one of the facilities in the past 38 years, you have likely run into one of them.
Dr. Cottingham has served on the boards of several not-for-profit organizations including school boards, church boards and a local food bank. He and his wife of 50 years, Caroline, enjoy travel, seeing friends and hanging out with their growing number of grandchildren, 17 to date. Says Dr. Cottingham, “I am very proud of the leadership team we have for our two hospitals and am confident that we will continue to be known as the Family Practice for Pets for years to come!”
