AVH’s Dedicated Team

Dr. Stacy

Dr. Stacy

Veterinarian

Hi! I’m Dr. Stacy Stacy. I am a Georgia native and long-time Decatur resident, who received my veterinary and undergrad degrees at UGA. For the last two years, I have been working as a relief veterinarian/independent contractor, handling shifts for various top-flight veterinary hospitals including Peachtree Hills Animal Hospital, Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners and Emergency Center of Sandy Springs.

I am so happy to return to the community I love and where I have spent the best part of the past 20 years making relationships with people and their pets. My professional interests include wellness, surgery and emergency medicine. But, mostly, I am rewarded by communicating with clients and guiding them through some of life’s difficult decisions and times of stress.

Dr. Graf

Dr. Graf

Veterinarian

I’m Dr. Allison Graf! I am a 2018 graduate from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine and a Georgia native from Savannah, GA. I received my B.S. in both Biological Science and Avian Biology from the University of Georgia in 2013. I have a strong passion for providing high-quality medicine but particularly have an interest in being a good communicator with clients. My special veterinary interests are: wellness, behavioral therapy, neurology, and surgery. Outside of work, I enjoy playing ultimate frisbee, hiking, and spending time with family and friends. I was a puppy raiser for the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind Inc. for seven years, and currently enjoy the company of my sweet yellow lab Mace.

Kim

Practice Manager

Hi, I’m Kim and the manager at AVH. I have been in the field of veterinary medicine for 18 years. I have always loved working with animals and their humans, whether it be helping with routine care, or being there to help them both get through an injury or sickness. I have a special skill set in calming stressed animals or fighting for those that need a little extra TLC (see my pet list below!). I especially love doing this job with my fellow teammates, and who are truly like my family. I was born in Birmingham, Ala. (War Eagle) and currently resides in Decatur, Ga. (on some land :)) with my menagerie of pets – my dogs: Lizzie, Benjamin, Boogie, Aiden and Eibhear Cats: Wink, Herbie, Neamin, Biscuits and Gravy. In my free time I love watching everything Auburn and cooking.

Cat

Cat

Receptionist

Hi, I’m Cat. I have been working in the field of veterinary medicine for many years. I have loved animals my whole life, even before I can remember. My first words were “the dog,” which made my parents a little jealous, but they did end up forgiving me! No one is ever surprised when they find out that I work in the veterinary medicine field, even though it’s not even close to what I went to school for. If you ask me, it’s what I was meant to do my whole life. I have a special skill set in chit-chat and client interaction. I truly care about your pet, but also about you and your day. I feel especially lucky to have a career where I can mix my love of pets with client care, but I really LOVE my AVH coworkers. They are truly my family. I live in Decatur Ga. with my two dogs, Kaylee & Sadie, and my two cats, Inara & Quinoa.

Hi, my name is Abby and I am a technician at AVH. I moved to Atlanta from Dayton, Ohio in August of 2017. I have been a veterinary technician for ten years. I have three cats of my own (Penne, Pinkman and Pearl). In my spare time, I love to lift heavy weights, talk about Beyonce/sing her songs, and listen to true crime podcasts. I am passionate about people, women’s rights, and finding the best fried pickles in Atlanta.

Jordan

Receptionist

Hello, my name is Jordan and I am a receptionist at AVH. I am excited to join the Avondale Veterinary Hospital team. This is my first experience working in the veterinary field, but so far, I’ve enjoyed every moment of it! It’s been inspiring to watch the staff at AVH provide the best care and concern for their patients. I’ve been a huge animal lover throughout my life and I find it very rewarding to learn about the healthcare and treatment of these amazing creatures. When I’m not answering the phone or helping clients at AVH, I enjoy playing music, writing and traveling.

Hi! I’m Jennifer. I was born and raised in Georgia. I started in the veterinary world over ten years ago. I took a break and moved to Hawaii for a few years. While in Hawaii I adopted my two forever felines Drago and Khaleesi. On my return to Georgia I added another feline, Houdini, to the family. I am excited to be returning to my true passion, caring for furry patients and their wonderful clients. I look forward to meeting the clients and patients of Avondale Estates!

Hello! My name is, Carrie and I am one of the members of the receptionist team at AVH. AVH is the second animal hospital that I have had the pleasure of working in, and although I’ve only been here a short time, I love it. I am from Oakland, Ca., and am a diehard Oakland Raider fan by birth. I moved to the Decatur area at the beginning of 2019, and in my free time I enjoy going on adventures that more than almost always include great food, better drinks, music and new sceneries with my fur baby Sampson! I love scary movies and anything with fur and four legs!
