Lindsay has lived in Florida for her entire life. Growing up in the New Smyrna Beach area, she moved to Largo after spending five years working in small and large animal general practice. 

For the last four years she has managed both emergency and specialty veterinary services. 

Lindsay enjoys life with her two cats, and a Sheltie named Rooney, which she rescued and rehabilitated after being hit by a car in 2022.

In addition to advocating for her awesome team of veterinary professionals, her primary compassion is end of life care and making sure you and your family are empowered to honor your pet in a personal and meaningful way.  

In her spare time she enjoys reading and spending time at the spa.  

“I love advocating for my team and empowering them to make honest, fun, and educational connections with the families we serve.'

Kim is a native of upstate New York and moved to Florida to be closer to family. 

Kim brings over 17 years of hands-on veterinary experience to the Largo Veterinary Hospital team. She chose this field of work because animals always bring her joy. 

Kim shares her home with her partner, 2 daughters, and her canine fur baby Charlie. 

In her spare time, Kim enjoys swimming, kayaking, walking/running with her pup, and spending time with family.

Crystal is a native of Massachusetts who moved to Florida over 20 years ago for the sun and warm weather. We are fortunate to have her at Largo Veterinary Hospital as she brings over 32 years of experience in the veterinary field. 

Crystal was just a young teen when she started working for an animal shelter and knew that she wanted to continue helping animals. From there she worked her way up and earned the title of veterinary technician.  

Crystal happily shares her home with her life partner; a bird named Pickle; and 3 dogs Kahne, Bodie, & Raleigh.

In her spare time, Crystal enjoys spending time with the humans she loves, her furbabies and enjoying the Florida beaches.

Victoria is a Veterinary Technician and joins our team from Waukee, Iowa. She brings over 3 years of experience to our team and has her Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from Iowa State University. 

She has always loved animals since she was a little girl. That love graduated from owning pets, to learning about every animal possible, to helping them feel better. 

She fell in love with her then-boyfriend (now-fiance!) and moved to Florida two years ago. Their family consists of; Bmo the six year old rabbit, Dale the 3 year Bernese Mountain dog, and Remy the 1.5 year old Havanese. Dale is a gentle giant, and Remy is described as the “wild child”. 

When she is not caring for our awesome patients, she likes to spend her time with her boys at the dog park, reading, and playing video games.

Dani has joined our team as a Veterinary Technician.

Jeff joins our team as a Detroit native. He and his wife Linda moved to Florida from Michigan over 16 years ago in search of some warmer weather! Together they share their home with a herd of creatures; three rescue pitbulls- called “Maya”, “Spencer”, and “Owen”, three cats- named “Sagan”, “Keegan” and “Laszlo”, and a bearded dragon named “Maynard” (AKA “Sid”)! 

Jeff originally went into the field of earth science and biology with the intention of becoming a veterinarian since he loves to work with animals. He has spent time volunteering at the Tampa Aquarium. 

In his free time Jeff enjoys hockey which he has played for over 35 years, playing with his dog pack, and is a home-brewer! 

Jeff may look tough on the outside but is as gentle as they come. 

Born and raised in Pinellas Park, Florida, Katy’s roots run deep in the sunshine state—though her parents originally moved down from Maryland when she was just a baby (they couldn’t handle the cold any longer!). Katy’s lifelong love of animals began at age five when Dr. Mac McGlamery saved her very first dog, sparking a passion that would grow into a lifelong career.

A proud graduate of Tarpon Springs High School, Katy became a Certified Veterinary Assistant and has been working in the veterinary field for over 13 years. Her caring nature and calm presence make her a trusted hand for both pets and their people.

At home, Katy shares life with her husband, Jordan, along with her mother-in-law, Kelly, and grandmother-in-law, Barbara. When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll find her swimming, reading, making music, or creating beautiful handmade jewelry.

Helping animals has always been more than a job for Katy—it’s part of who she is.

Michael joined our team with a passion for animal care and a heart for helping pets live their healthiest, happiest lives. Before stepping into the clinical side of veterinary medicine he worked in dog resorts, gaining valuable hands-on experience with animals of all kinds.

Michael moved to St. Petersburg this year to enjoy the beach, warm weather, and to finish his Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Professions. He has worked with animals for over two years and loves being part of the process that helps pets return home healthy and smiling.

At home, Michael shares life with his two-year-old Golden Retriever, Bentley. In his free time, you’ll often find him fishing, skateboarding, or soaking up the Florida sun.

Michael is committed to ensuring every pet receives ethical, compassionate care and the high-quality treatment they deserve.

Maddie and Cali are our resident staff pets! If you stop by during lunch hour you may see them following the team around looking for treats or trouble to get into. 

Maddie is Dr. Daniels' rescue dog and our little diva! 

Cali is Dr. Gillespie's husky/lab mix and she is our gentle giant. She is usually under a desk hanging out and acting as Maddie's muscle.
