Dr. Kim Ipock grew up in the piedmont of North Carolina in Rowan county. She got her first pony when she was 6 and has been obsessed with horses ever since. She was very active in 4-H and rode hunt seat, western, and did pleasure driving as a teenager. When she was 16 she went to school at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in Durham (Go Unicorns!!). She then attended NC State for both undergraduate and veterinary school, graduating in 1993. She moved to Kinston for her first job where she married her husband, Robert. She opened Institute Mobile Veterinary Services in 1996 and has been in La Grange ever since. Her special veterinary interests are preventative care, dentistry, and reproduction. In her “free time” she enjoys showing the AQHA circuit with her horse, Rita, spending time with her son, Aren, and playing with the Haflingers and English Shepherds at the clinic.
Kimberly Ipock, DVM
MEET OUR VETS
Originally from Buffalo, NY, Dr. Meyer received her undergraduate degree from the University of Vermont in 2021, where she fell in love with dairy cows. While applying to veterinary school, she worked as a vet tech for a small animal hospital and spent time riding along with large animal veterinarians in the area. She then moved back to New York State, where she earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Cornell University in May 2026.
Dr. Meyer enjoys exploring the outdoors: hiking, fishing, kayaking, etc., but she also loves curling up on the couch with a good book or puzzle.
She is very passionate about the Spanish language and connecting with Spanish-speaking communities. Before entering her clinical year, she lived in Colombia for 3 months, where she worked on a dairy farm and spent time with her host family. This experience has helped her better connect and communicate with members of our Hispanic community.
Fun fact: She is left-handed, just like Dr. Ipock!
She also has 2 cats, Starling and Reuben. Both are rescues with their special stories and quirks. Reuben especially loves accompanying Dr. Meyer on her adventures.
