Dr. Karl has been the owner of Free Home Animal Hospital, since opening the doors in 2000. He began practicing as a small animal veterinarian in the northern suburbs of Atlanta over 30 years ago. In addition to diagnostics and dentistry, Dr. Karl is also skilled in surgery and has a particular interest in orthopedic surgery. Born in French-speaking Belgium, he graduated from veterinary college at the University of Liege. Following graduation, he served as an officer and small animal veterinarian for the Belgian Armed Forces in Germany. He met his wife of over 30 years, Amy, when she was an American exchange student in Belgium, and they moved to North Georgia in 1992.

Having devoted more than half of his life to the veterinary profession, Dr. Karl's commitment to patient care and client service are foundational to Free Home Animal Hospital's success. When he is not caring for our clients' pets, Dr. Karl enjoys playing tennis and tackling home improvement projects.
