An Unmatched Veterinary Experience

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.

Dr. Savannah Lavallee is a graduate of Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Originally from just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, she earned her undergraduate degree from Western Carolina University before pursuing her lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian.

Dr. Lavallee is passionate about forming lasting relationships with her clients and their pets. She believes in advocating for her patients while delivering high-quality, personalized care. She finds deep purpose not only in caring for animals, but also in supporting the people who love them. For her, keeping a pet healthy is also a way of caring for the heart and home of the person behind that pet.

At home, she and her husband, Richard, enjoy life with their two cherished Chihuahuas, Lemon and Frisky. In her free time, Dr. Lavallee loves spending time in nature, baking, crafting, watching movies, and making memories with friends.

She’s honored to be part of the Ashley Pines Animal Hospital team and looks forward to meeting you soon!
