Our Doctor
Dr. Teed
Managing DVM
Originally from New Brunswick, Canada, where he enjoyed snowboarding and Poutine. He attended St. Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia and then onto veterinary school at The Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in Blacksburg, Virginia. Dr. Teed traveled to India to expand his knowledge and experiences to a wide variety of animals, including elephants too! (How cool!) Dr. Teed loves taking the scientific/ technical knowledge from veterinary medicine and explaining it to owners in a more understandable way. He has a passion for many species, but primarily sees canines, felines, lagomorphs (rabbits), and “pocket pets”. Dr. Teed loves teaching pet owners about what is wrong, why it’s wrong, what needs to be done, and why. Education has been the foundation for his career and loves to share what he learns with others to expand the human-animal bond. Dr. Teed and his wife, Nina, have 3 dogs, Duck (pointer), Goose (black lab), and Monster (Chocolate lab). When he is not practicing veterinary medicine, he enjoys doing trivia, golfing and fishing with friends!

Amanda and her partner have two dogs of their own (Jax and Peach), and they hope to have more in the future.
Alexis Wyatt
Veterinary Technician
In November 2022, Alexis joined the team at Keystone Animal Hospital. A proud lifelong Floridian, she recently took an exciting step by building a home in Palmetto with her fiancé. While her original plan was a career in human medicine, she quickly realized that her true passion lies with animals. After a short time in the field, Alexis knew she wanted to dedicate her life to helping animals and forming meaningful connections with their owners.
When she’s not caring for her furry patients, Alexis loves staying active and focusing on health and fitness. Whether she’s out on the water fishing, exploring new destinations with her fiancé, or discovering the beauty of her island home, she’s always looking for her next adventure. Traveling is a big part of her life, and she enjoys experiencing new places, food, and cultures.
Alexis is also a proud dog mom to Ozzie, her rescue Australian Cattle Dog mix, and Axl, her purebred red Australian Cattle Dog. Her days are full of energy and love, just like her two pups!
