MICHAEL WALDEN, DVM

Walden grew up in Charleston, SC. God gave him a love for caring for animals that began when he was nine years old and brought home a chick hatched in his classroom. He raised fish, turtles, chickens, ducks, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, squirrels, cats, and dogs. For as long as he can remember, Dr. Walden wanted to be a Veterinarian. He graduated with a BS in Animal Science at Clemson in 1979 and received his DVM from Tuskegee Institute in 1983. God led him to Greenwood Veterinary Hospital straight out of school. Dr. Walden married his high school sweetheart, Rita, and is blessed with four children: Michael Jr., Lauren, Rachel, and Linh. He is a member of the Greenwood Lions Club, Lakelands Bee Keepers Club, and Calvary Chapel of Greenwood, where he is a deacon and Sunday School teacher. He has 2 English Pointers and a Poodle: Dottie, Sophie, and Minnie (pictured). Dr. Walden loves practicing veterinary medicine and talking with his clients. When he is not at Greenwood Veterinary Hospital, Dr. Walden enjoys spending time with his grandchildren, his church, and God’s incredible creations while gardening, running his bird dogs, and maintaining his tree farm for wildlife.
