Meet the Team

Dr. Kelly Aldridge has been with Branch’s Veterinary clinic for a little over 6 years. She graduated from St. George’s University school of veterinary medicine in 2008. She is originally from Albany Georgia and moved to the Tifton area around 10 years ago. She spends a  majority of her time in our Tifton office and one day a week in the Nashville office. She specializes in cosmetic Ear Trims and Dental Extractions and enjoys doing more specialized surgeries and diagnostic testing.
When she’s not at work, Dr Aldridge loves traveling and spending time with her husband Chad, their children Vivienne and James, and their 2 dogs, Chopper and Ozzy.

Dr. James “Curt” Branch, III has been at Branch’s Veterinary Clinic for 35 years. He is a second-generation veterinarian and worked with his father till his passing in 2012. Dr. Branch was born and raised in Tifton Ga. He graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in 1987 and returned home to practice with his father. He has a long history with the community and has earned the respect of all who know him. His love of animals and people have made him a pillar of the community. Dr. Branch has worked with the 4-H, FFA & other school programs throughout his career and continues to support the programs. Dr. Branch has mentored students through the years and was fortunate to have Dr.Tiffany Caulder return to work with the practice. Dr. Branch also works closely with Tift County Animal Shelter and multiple rescues, working towards saving and rehoming as many pets as possible. Dr Branch loves spending time with his family, including 2 sons and his wife Julie. They have 2 dogs (Abby &Moet) and 2 cats (Twila & Chipper).

Dr. Tiffany Caulder has been with Branch’s Veterinary Clinic since June 2019, splitting her time between the Nashville and Tifton office. Dr. Caulder is a 2019 graduate from Lincoln Memorial University College
of Veterinary Medicine. She worked at Branch’s Veterinary Clinic prior to veterinary school and clearly could not stay away. She was inspired by her love of animals and the desire to practice in her home community. Dr. Caulder enjoys “routine” healthy appointments for the opportunity to interact with people and their pets and to facilitate the relationship between them. She strives to assist her clients by helping them get started with their new puppy/kitten, working with them in managing illnesses, or guiding them through difficult quality of life decisions. Dr. Caulder is fear free certified and meeting the needs of dogs, cats, and their people in the most stress-free way motivates her each day in her work. When not at work, Dr. Caulder enjoys spending time with her husband, Mackenzie and their 3 dogs (Elsie, Theo, and Winnie)
