Meet Our Veterinary Team

Dr. Sue Olivier is a 1983 LSU Veterinary Medicine graduate who opened Acadiana West Animal Clinic on May 1st, 1989. Practicing veterinary medicine was in the cards since she was seven years old. The clinic is over 30 years old and still going strong!

Dr. Olivier has been on the West Bank since 1983 and has two grown children, two dogs, and two cats. She has been involved in organized veterinary medicine as past president of the Southeast Louisiana Veterinary Association, past president of the Louisiana Veterinary Medical Association, a representative for the New Orleans area, and a small animal committee member. Her hobbies are cooking, reading, and staying fit.

She prides herself in building relationships with her patients and clients and being as open and honest as possible. She also understands the importance of the human-animal bond and intends to continue helping it grow stronger! Her favorite topics in veterinary medicine are oncology and clinical pathology. Dr. Rought loves traveling, dancing, scrapbooking, and spending time with her family and friends.

Sprout joined the staff of Acadiana West many months ago and has become an invaluable asset. He is single and lives with his family in Marrero. Previously, Sprout was incarcerated at the JP Animal Shelter but was given a second chance by getting employed instead of rehab. He is the host with the most and, despite lacking thumbs, is moving up the corporate ladder. We are happy to have him even though he often sleeps on the job. Welcome, Sprout.

Practice Manager

Alexis is our practice manager. She previously worked as a receptionist but left us for greener pastures. Unfortunately, that pasture was filled with cow pies, so she is back! Alexis loves spending time with her 1-year-old daughter and family.  She loves animals, but this crazy girl has no pets. I’m sure we can fix that!
