Dr. William Brom, a veterinarian and founder of the Greenbrier Animal Clinic in Anniston, has been taking care of the community’s fur babies for over 38 years and he’s seen it all.

​

"I’ve seen porcupines,” Brom said. "I’ve seen skunks. I’ve seen 30-foot boas. I’ve seen baboons."

​

Many of these animals are brought to him by one client in particular, who he said does school shows that educate students on different types of wild animals. 

​

"You never know what he’s gonna bring to you," he said.

​

Brom decided in his second year of college that he would pursue veterinary medicine, so he transferred to Auburn University to pursue his undergraduate degree in veterinary education in 1980. In June 1982, he opened Greenbrier Animal Clinic.

​

Readers of The Anniston Star voted Dr. William Brom as their favorite local veterinarian. 

​

When caring for clients, Brom said he always encourages his staff to try their best to put themselves in that clients position.

​

"You can buy vaccines at all kinds of places," he said, "You can buy horse wormer, cow wormer, dog and cat wormer just about anywhere you want to, but for them to feel like that we’re trying our best to help them as if their pet, their patient, their person is important to us as it is to them."

​

Brom explained that he does his best to communicate with each client and that he couldn’t do anything without the help of his staff. Spending time with clients, he said, is important and he wants to make sure that they don’t feel like they’re being rushed out of the clinic. 

​

"If the folks here don’t treat people right, it doesn’t matter what I do," he said. "I have a great bunch of folks around me."
