Meet Our Staff

We are so excited for you to meet our newest DVM, Dr. Melodie Bloss!

Dr. Bloss knew she wanted to be a veterinarian from a very young age. After graduating from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016, she and her husband moved to a small town in Southwest Missouri. She practiced at a mixed animal clinic there for six years and recently relocated to be closer to family. She and her husband, Kurtis, have two young daughters (Violet and Hazel), two dogs (Lexi and Bo), and one cat (June). She enjoys spending time with her family and being around animals in and outside of work.

Dr. Hammerle graduated from the University of Missouri and has 21 years of experience in this field. She prides herself in being able to help pets that are ill or injured. She loves researching complex cases and working with pet owners to give their pets what they need to stay happy and healthy. Outside of work, Dr. Hammerle enjoys spending time on the farm with her family and loves her horses!

Hi, my name is Ashley, a veterinary professional with a passion for patient care and client education. Since 2014, I have been committed to the well-being of animals, having pursued my education at Penn Foster.

My pride lies in my ability to cater to all stages of life and handle diverse breeds and temperaments with ease. Beyond medical expertise, I excel in educating pet owners, empowering them to make informed decisions about their pets’ health.

In my free time, you’ll find me indulging in diverse interests, from restoring and building cars to exploring antique shops and expressing my creativity through art.

Hi, my name is Becca, a seasoned veterinary professional with seven years of experience. Trained at Hickey-Vet Tech Institute, my expertise and passion for veterinary medicine shine through my technical skills and dedication to teaching others. When not in the clinic, I enjoy the camaraderie of slow-pitch softball, balancing work and leisure with finesse.

Hey there! I’m Krista, with over two decades of experience in the veterinary world. I excel in connecting with people and have a knack for calming anxious pet owners. Plus, I’m passionate about empowering clients with knowledge to ensure the best care for their beloved pets. Balancing life with four teenagers doesn’t leave me with much free time, but when I do get a moment, I love assisting my youngest children with their livestock. Additionally, I love spending time riding my horse.

Hi, I’m Faith, a dedicated veterinary professional with three years of experience. Trained at PIMA Medical Institute, I am passionate about providing exceptional care and always prioritizing my patients’ well-being. Outside of work, I enjoy reading and playing video games.

Hi, I’m Kalie! I grew up here in Troy, and I’m currently going to school in Saint Charles. I started my first job working here at Animal Medical Center of Troy when I was 16 as a kennel assistant in boarding. I’ve grown up with many pets in the house, and this caused my love for animals, but working here has furthered my love for animals. Currently, I have two pets, a four year old chocolate lab and a Siamese cat. After two years in boarding, I moved up front to be a receptionist. I love meeting all of the unique dogs and cats that come in our doors, and can’t wait to meet many more.
