Adrienne Denzik Robertson, DVM, CVCP
Dr. Robertson, originally from Fairdale, Kentucky, was raised on her family farm where she developed a strong work ethic and a deep empathy for animals of all sizes. Growing up, she was an active equestrian, competing in various disciplines including Hunter Jumper, Dressage, Cross Country, Saddleseat, Western Performance, and Contest. These experiences have proven to be a significant asset in providing her patients with exceptional sports medicine.
Dr. Robertson’s clinical foundation began with seven years of experience as a small animal veterinary assistant prior to attending veterinary school. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Bellarmine University in Louisville before attending Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Following graduation, she completed an Equine Internship in Lexington, Kentucky, before returning to Fairdale to begin her practice.
Her professional expertise includes a focus on canine orthopedics. She routinely performs advanced surgical procedures, many of which are not widely available in the region, including:
- Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO)
- Tibial transposition
- Total Hip replacement
Additionally, Dr. Robertson has expanded the practice’s minimally invasive capabilities to include laparoscopic spays, laparoscopic-assisted gastropexy, needle scope arthroscopy, and urethroscopy with lithotripsy for stone removal. As a certified Veterinary Chiropractitioner and Veterinary Acupuncturist, she utilizes a “whole animal” approach to patient care.
While Dr. Robertson maintains an ambulatory practice serving Jefferson and surrounding counties, she remains committed to Fairdale as her home base. Under her leadership, the practice has evolved from a single-doctor ambulatory service into a 10,000-square-foot medical and surgical facility, supported by multiple mixed animal practitioners and a professional staff.
Dr. Robertson resides in Louisville with her husband, John, and their two sons, Gavin and Peyton. Their family also includes four dogs—Princess Coco Chanel, Cooper, Rascal, and Alice—and their cat, Dillon. In her spare time, she remains active in the equestrian community and enjoys showing with the Kentuckiana Ranch Horse Association alongside her sons.
