Dr. Carrie Woodcock is married to Dr. Corey Woodcock, a veterinarian over at Pennsauken Animal Hospital. They spend their free time with their 3 children, and enjoy traveling, hiking, and playing games. Her kids are her inspiration, and states, “My 3 young adults whose personal struggles with chronic pain, trauma, and mobility challenges motivate me to help both our patients and the families who struggle along with them. They are the inspiration for what I do every day- helping patients and their families manage and live with challenges so they can live their best life.” The Woodcock’s have opened their home to more pets than people: Mia a poma-huahua. Hobo a scruffy shih tzu mix, Boo- DSH, Mabel DSH, PJ DLJ, Ruby Ragdoll, Bubba Ragdoll, and Cookie Ragdoll. They also have a tortoise named Speedy.
