Dr. Amber Meade
Owner
Dr. Meade earned her veterinary degree from North Carolina State University in 2009, and she became certified in acupuncture by attending the Medical Acupuncture for Veterinarians course in Colorado. Prior to opening Broadway Veterinary Hospital Durham, Dr. Meade has worked as a vet in a corporate small animal hospital, a private practice small animal hospital, and an animal emergency hospital. Prior to her pursuit of veterinary medicine, she earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Tampa with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry. Upon graduation, she worked as a veterinary assistant in a 24-hour emergency and referral animal hospital and at a human infectious disease lab utilizing PCR to detect disease. This led her to pursue a graduate degree in Immunology at Duke University in Durham. However, her passion to work with animals remained, and after earning her Master’s in Science, she pursued her doctorate of veterinary medicine.
Dr. Meade is proud to be a small business owner within the Durham community! She feels that it is important to support small, locally-owned businesses to help maintain and strengthen the local economy and community. She officially considers herself a Durhamite, and she hopes to live, work, and retire in Durham. Dr. Meade will always have pets in her household – at any given time it is some number of multiple cats and likely at least one dog!

She went to college at Appalachian State University and stayed in Boone afterwards. Liz started her career in veterinary medicine as a kennel worker. She would take care of boarding cats and dogs at the hospital. As she stayed there, she started to help in the treatment area and learned from trained RVTs.

Helping owners through hard times and taking care of animals makes her heart sing.

Liz worked at a corporate vet office for 3 years before leaving to go back to private practice. She wanted her efforts to go toward helping animals more than helping stockholders make money.
