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.

Kristen Sprunger, DVM

Dr. Sprunger has been an integral part of the team at McCordsville Veterinary Hospital since May 2008. In 1998, she received her Bachelor of Science Degree from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. She couldn’t stay away from the Hoosier state for long, completing her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2002 at Purdue University. Dr. Sprunger most enjoys soft tissue surgeries, creating strong client relationships, and cuddling her feline patients. 

When she’s not at work, her two daughters (Bryn and Eve) keep her busy with their after-school activities and demanding social calendars. If she does get a moment to herself, she loves to try out new recipes with her family, lift weights at the gym, and read books.

Shelby is kept busy with her two-legged and four-legged kids: two humans; Rudy, a Greyhound; 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.

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.

Sierra Grooms, Receptionist

Sierra joined us in April of 2022 as a receptionist and truly loves her new job here. Sierra has been in the customer service industry for the past 10 years and loves to help people and animals! She went to school at St. Vincent where she got her EMT/BLS license. Sierra is currently on a new path to discovering her true passions in life.

In her spare time, you can find Sierra obsessing over her Yorkshire terrier puppy, Bruno. She also loves coffee, astrology, Japanese culture, and crystals. Sierra has always been an avid animal lover, so much so that she became a vegetarian! She loves all animals, including dogs and cats, elephants, big jungle cats, and even penguins, and dolphins. When she has the time you can find her stimulating her brain by doing puzzles, painting, reading, and writing poetry.

vet
Audrey Hines, Assistant
Audrey has been a wonderful asset to our team from the beginning. We are elated that she chose us for her first job in veterinary medicine; her love of animals really shines through with her passion for patient care. If you ever can’t find her, she’s probably in the kennel snuggling a surgery patient.

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 super fluffy Bernese Mountain Dog, Rey.

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.
