Dr. Paige is a Southshore native and graduate of Ecole Classique. She double majored in Anthropology and Biology at Ole Miss before going into Veterinary Medicine at LSU. While at LSU, she particularly enjoyed working as a laboratory instructor for undergraduate histopathology students. Dr. Paige started her career in Metairie before moving north in 2002.

After working as an associate in several other practices, she decided it was time to have a hospital of her own and teamed up with Dr. Alissa to found Monroe Street Animal Hospital. Business ownership must run in the blood, as she learned the principles of management from her parents, who started Massey’s Sporting Goods.

Dr. Paige loves all aspects of small animal medicine and has a particular interest in soft tissue surgery. She continues to work part-time at the St. Bernard Animal Shelter, where she is their primary surgeon.

When she steps away from the hospital, she lives in Covington with her husband and teenage daughter. Their family also includes a sweet Boxer, three precocious cats, a friendly lizard, and a very chill Betta fish.

Samantha is a Madisonville native who grew up in Mandeville and graduated from MHS. She later studied Biological Engineering at LSU. Since moving back home, she has worked in management and customer service at several local businesses. Samantha now brings her experience and love for animals to the front of the house here at Monroe Street.

Away from work, Samantha is in charge of a husband, one son, two daughters, two dogs, and three cats. As if that wasn’t enough to keep her busy, she is also a passionate fiber artist. She knits and hand weaves, and has been teaching herself to spin yarn and sew. She recently started Bayou Lily Handwoven in order to share her creations with the public.
