Dr. Patricia Richardel has recently joined the veterinary staff of Bienville Animal Medical Center in Ocean Springs.  A graduate of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Louisiana State University in May, 2008, Dr. Richardel was awarded her B.S. in Animal Science from LSU in 2001, and her M.S. in Dairy Science from LSU in 2004.  She previously practiced veterinary medicine in Gulfport prior to joining the Bienville team in Ocean Springs.

Although well-versed in both large and small animal medicine, Dr. Richardel has developed a passion for companion animals because of the personal bonds created through these relationships.  She joins Drs. Chris Duke, Michael Dill, Don Palermo, Stacey Randall, Cindy Culpepper and Felicia Burdick in the group practice of Bienville Animal Medical Center.

Dr. Richardel is a resident of Ocean Springs, and enjoys reading, spending time with her husband and two dogs, cooking and gardening.
