Scot Harbin, DVM

Dr. Scot Harbin has spent his entire life in Indiana gradually working his way south through the years. Born and raised in the small town of Whiting, Indiana until he moved south to West Lafayette to attend Purdue University Veterinary School where he both graduated and married his wife Sherry in 1994. She is a professor at Purdue University in the School of Biomedical Engineering. Upon graduation, he moved further south to the Indianapolis area to start his veterinary career. He has been practicing veterinary medicine full-time at McCordsville Veterinary Hospital since 1998 after he and his partners purchased the practice. In 2001 he became sole owner of McCordsville Veterinary Hospital. He enjoys the variety of cases including medical, surgical, and dental cases that a general practice presents on a day-to-day basis. He enjoys educating clients whether answering their questions or providing information concerning the pet’s medical conditions.

When not at work you will usually find him spending time with his wife and boys, Alexander and Zachary. The household would not be complete though without the family pets currently consisting of one Golden Retriever (Mello) and three Domestic Short Hair cats (Camden, Oscar, & Kobe). Everyone in the family enjoys a multitude of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, and scuba diving when time permits.

Sam Haygood, RVT
Though you may not have met Sam, she is working hard behind the scenes to help give your pet the best care. Since September 2012, she has been sharing her expertise and skill as a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT), with us. She is a 2010 Graduate of Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Technology. She enjoys challenging cases and cares for each patient as they were her own.

When she’s not at work, Sam keeps busy with her family activities, pets, and hobbies. Her and her husband, Brandon, have two active boys. Together as a family they love and care for two dogs, Karl Wayne and June, and one cat, Retta. When she gets a moment to herself, you’ll find her reading a book, listening to a true-crime podcast, or trying to sneak in another family pet.

vet
Shelby Jones-Maddox, RVT

Shelby is a 2016 RVT graduate of Harrison College who joined our team in January of 2023. Shelby has been an amazing addition to our team; she especially loves building relationships with clients and their pets and providing them with the best care. 

Shelby is kept busy with her two-legged and four-legged kids: 9 and 6 year old humans; Amy, a pit bull; Marnie, an Aussie mix; and Midas and Calliope, her feline friends. If you can’t find her during the warmer months, it’s because she’s camping, at a concert, or cheering on her daughter at the softball field. 

vet
Torie Humphrey, Assistant

Torie is another behind-the-scenes teammate. When not assisting in appointments, she’s working hard to keep everything cleaned and organized. She also sneaks off to the kennels to comfort and love on your pets after their procedures. She’s been another fantastic addition to our hospital.

You might find her and her husband, Alex, hiking with her 3 dogs, Mowgli, Berkley and Rusty, in their free time. If she’s not tending to her 3 pups, she’s probably dotting over Sweetie, her bearded dragon. Besides being outdoors, she also enjoys her time with her friends and family.

vet
Parker Mohr, Assistant

McCordsville Veterinary Hospital just would not be the same without our little brother, Parker. If you’ve ever met Parker, you will know he’s not little standing at 6’4”. Since September of 2020, he has kept us entertained daily with his pranks, jokes, and soothing phone voice. Parker graduated in 2020 from Purdue University with a BS in Animal Science.

Parker is a man that needs little sleep. When not working you will find him on his family’s farm or volunteering his time as a firefighter in a nearby community. Parker completed his certification in the state of Indiana for firefighting, and is working towards his EMT certification.

vet
Calyn Pope, Assistant

If you have ever been at our hospital and felt a strong breeze, it was Calyn rushing past making sure everything is running as a well-oiled machine. She’s been part of our team since August of 2019. While working full-time with us, she is also taking online classes through Penn Foster to earn her degree in Veterinary Technology. Calyn also has a love of education and in 2017 received her BS in Criminal Justice from (shhhhh…do not tell our Purdue graduates) Indiana University. Thankfully for us, she appreciates working at a place where she gets to hone her skills as an assistant.

Concerts, painting, Zumba, road trips, wine and dinner out with friends are just a few of the recreational activities Calyn pursues after hours. She’s the one to sing along to every song and share a good joke. Her home is filled with love from three rescue cats (Andre, Stevie, and Huey) and one rambunctious pup named River.

vet
Audrey Hines, Assistant

Audrey has been a wonderful asset to our team from the beginning. We are elated that she choose us for her first job in veterinary medicine. Her love of learning and the veterinary field led her to enroll in Penn Foster’s Veterinary Technician program.
When Audrey is away from the hospital, you might find her spending time with her husband (Chandler), family and friends or watching the newest rom-com. When Audrey is home, she has the full attention of her two super fluffy Bernese Mountain Dogs, Bernadette and Rey.

vet
Jeanna Baker, Assistant

After spending years working in retail, Jeanna has rediscovered her passion for veterinary care. Previously, she worked as a veterinary assistant. Now she is brushing off her skills while spoiling your pets while they are in our care. From assisting in appointments, caring for patients after surgeries and closing down the building, we have greatly benefitted from Jeanna’s strong work ethic. This photography hobbyist, spends her free time hiking and camping with her fiancé, Julius, and their 4 kids (1 son and 3 daughters). They enjoy local state parks as well as traveling out of state. Her busy household is completed with their 2 dogs, Kira (a german sherpherd) and Jax (a miniature schnauzer).

vet
Stacey Valentine, Receptionist

When you arrive at our hospital you are probably greeted by Stacey’s smiling face or warm welcome. Thankfully she’s been with us since July of 2014. Stacey does the impossible: fielding phone calls, checking in/our patients, balancing the schedule of all our appointments, and deciphering the writing of our veterinarians. Stacey has an associates degree in accounting and her veterinary assistant diploma.

Rain or shine, you will find her outdoors. It doesn’t matter how warm or cold she enjoys hiking, camping, kayaking and fishing. Her love of the outdoors has led her to become an Advanced Indiana Master Naturalist. Stacey also enjoys the company of her great dane, Luna and her lovable cat Geoff.
