Longtime veteran bids farewell to Wylie practice

by | Jun 5, 2025 | Area News, Latest

Dr. Chuck Kerin will bid farewell to Wylie at the end of June after decades of caring for local pets and livestock at Parker Road Veterinary Hospital. The practice, which he founded in 1984, was sold two years ago and now employs multiple veterinarians.

After more than four decades of caring for animals, Dr. Chuck Kerin will hang up his stethoscope on June 27 and retire from the veterinary practice he built from the ground up.

Kerin, who opened Parker Road Veterinary Hospital in Wylie in 1984, just two years after graduating from Texas A&M, said it’s time for a slower pace. He and his wife, Lisa, are moving to a 227-acre working ranch in Sulphur Springs, where he plans to raise cattle, perform embryo transfers in horses and eventually breed and sell horses.

“I’m going to miss the social aspect of veterinary practice,” Kerin said. “I really enjoy the clients I’ve had over the years and I’ve enjoyed the interaction with people.”
