Meet Our Staff

Dr. Bamonte joined Clear Creek Animal Hospital in August 2005, fresh from graduating from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine. She left the wonderful Land of Oz to explore the east coast and live closer to her family.

A couple of years into her new Charlotte life she joined a kickball team and met her future husband and fellow animal lover, Justin. They have 2 fabulous, rambunctious kids, Brooke and Jack, and a Cocker Spaniel diva named Mia.  Dr. Bamonte enjoys traveling, reading, walking, and, of course, spending as much time as she can with her family.

Dr. Bamonte has special interests in internal medicine, pain relief, and geriatric care....because age is not a disease!

Dr. Stone is a 1998 graduate of Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. Although it must be said she was born and raised in Pittsburgh (Go Steelers!). She and her husband moved to Charlotte in 2005 when she joined Clear Creek Animal Hospital on a part time basis.

When she’s not with us, she is kept busy with her two children! The rest of her family includes a pit bull rescue, a kitty, a bearded dragon lizard, and her son’s hamster named Charlie. Dr. Stone enjoys traveling, reading, ceramics, scrapbooking, and all things craft related!! She enjoys both the medical and surgical aspects of veterinary medicine.

Dr. Megan Hesson is a 2018 graduate of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. A Kentucky native, she moved to North Carolina right after graduation to enjoy the convenient access to both the mountains and the beach.

While Dr. Hesson loves all types of medicine, her special interests include surgery, dermatology, and neurology. When she’s not at work, you can find her hanging out with her four rescue pets (two cats and two dogs), traveling, reading, and singing karaoke.
