We have some VERY exciting news...🤩

Help us officially welcome Dr. Meredith Nugent! Meredith joined the Saint Francis family September 2023.

Dr. Meredith Nugent grew up on Long Island, New York, and received her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Fredonia State University of New York. She then earned her Doctorate from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (RUSVM) in St. Kitts and Nevis in 2022, after completing her clinical rotations through Lincoln Memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine.
Along with her interest in acupuncture, Dr. Meredith holds a lot of interest in soft tissue surgery, including but not limited to cystotomy, gastrointestinal foreign body removal, gastropexy, and mass removal. She would also like to get more advanced imaging training including ultrasonography and echocardiology. She also won't shy away from other small furry friends such as guinea pigs and rabbits, nor will she shy away from our friends with scales or feathers. Dr. Meredith comes with immense determination and love for what she does. She continues her education through the Pinellas County Veterinary Medical Association and numerous conferences throughout the year.
Dr. Meredith has lived in Tampa since March 2023, along with her two Tortoise Shell cats Buffy and Malta. In her spare time, Dr. Meredith tries to hit up the CrossFit gym, cook and bake delicious meals, and will hopefully be trekking the Appalachian trail later this year in 2024!

Dr. Meredith is now seeing patients (Including exotics!)

There has been an uptick in the number of dogs with respiratory symptoms in several U.S. regions - and it's currently unknown what's causing the illness. Dr. Kelly Cairns, Thrive Pet Healthcare's VP of Medical Excellence, shared with HuffPost this week what pet owners should know about the respiratory infection.

Please help us welcome Dr. Brandon Nelon! 😁🎉

Originally from the mountains of North Carolina, Dr. Brandon grew up in the small town of Sylva. He obtained his B.S in Cellular/Molecular Biology from Appalachian State University in 2016 and later his Master's in Animal Science from NC State University in 2018. His passion for helping animals big and small then led him to pursue his DVM degree at NC State University. Dr. Brandon's professional interests include dermatology and dentistry, but his main passion is connecting with pet owners and helping educate them so they can make the best healthcare decisions for their 3- or 4-legged companions. Outside of the office, he enjoys fishing, gardening, and hiking. He also plans to start a small farm in the future. Lastly, if you are ever wanting to hear a good dad joke, he's your guy.

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy 4th!
Our Trinity office is closed. We will resume normal business hours on Thursday at 8am. 🇺🇸🎆
