Dr. Andi Winney

Veterinarian

Dr. Winney is that little girl who always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. After 4 years of playing college basketball, Dr. Winney attended Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. When she graduated in 2014, her dream became a reality. Dr. Winney practiced veterinary medicine in Chicago, IL for seven years before making the move to South Carolina. Dr. Winney enjoys pet wellness care, internal medicine and surgery; but most of all, she enjoys caring for people by caring for their pets.

Outside of work, Dr. Winney enjoys hiking, crossfit, cooking for friends, and exploring new parts of the world. She has a little black mutt named Ellie, a rambunctious Golden Retriever named Lemon, a pretty little kitty named Loa, and a cat who thinks he’s a dog named Rhip.

Dr. Winney is so excited to meet you and your four legged family members. The entire Ashley Pines Animal Hospital staff is excited to serve as your veterinary care team and treat your pets as our own.
