Meet Our Staff

Dr. Ryan McCann is a 1996 graduate of the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation, Dr. McCann spent four years in a mixed animal practice in Hannibal, MO, where he learned how to love below-freezing calf pulls and middle-of-the-night puppy mill cesareans. In 2000, Dr. McCann left Hannibal to pursue his own interests and built his first small animal veterinary clinic in Troy, MO, where he still practices today. His interests include all aspects of soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, most notably fracture plating and TPLO surgery. Dr. McCann also enjoys designing and building veterinary clinics. His newest clinic is located in busy Lake Saint Louis, MO, and run by his daughter, Dr. Hunter McCann-Tucker, and associate veterinarian Dr. Kaitlin Bishop, with another clinic coming soon in Wentzville, MO. Dr. McCann lives in Wildwood, MO, with his wife, Jill, of 27 years. They have three children, Aaron (Ayumi), Hunter (Collin), and Kellen, four grandchildren, five dogs, and one cat.

Dr. Samantha Kevin grew up in a small town in Northern Illinois. After graduating from high school, she took a job as a wrangler on a ranch in Colorado. Working on a ranch made her fall in love with caring for animals, and she knew she needed to become a veterinarian. Dr. Kevin graduated in 2020 from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. Her main interests include small animal soft tissue and orthopedic surgery. When she is not at the practice, you can find her riding her horse, Cricket, or walking her Dachshunds, Harlowe and Nadine.

Hi, My name is Amanda. I have been a Veterinary Technician at the Animal Medical Center of Troy for almost a year. I grew up always having a natural instinct to care for and love every animal I’ve come across. I have always wanted to care and love and help in any way I can.

I feel that working in the Veterinary industry is enjoyable and very rewarding. “Pets are the family we choose for ourselves.”

Hi, My name is Jessica. I have been a receptionist here at Animal Medical Center of Troy for almost a year. I love being around animals in any way I can. One of the best parts of my job is being a part of your fur baby’s journey and getting to learn new things and help out any way I can. We are a family of four, and we have two dogs Dottie, a Labrador/mix, who is our sweet, calm girl who loves to run, and Comet, an Anatolian Shepherd/Mix, who is our TV-watching snuggle bug. We also have a bearded dragon, Monkey, and two birds, Julie and Blue Bay.

I have two children, two grandchildren, and two loveable pets, Chubby and Toothless. I like spending as much time as possible outdoors, hiking, and working in the yard.

Hi, My name is Jamie. I have been in the grooming industry for over ten years. I enjoy providing stress-free, quality grooms for both cats and dogs. I take pride in my quality over quantity services. In my free time, I enjoy working in the yard and spending time with my two young children. I have two Poodles, an American Staffordshire Terrier, and a cat.

Hi, My name is Rosie. Ever since I was a child, I’ve always loved animals. If I was at a friend’s house, I’d be petting the dogs instead of playing with the other kids. I volunteered at an animal shelter and got my first job in the grooming industry at age 17. Over a decade later, I can’t imagine doing anything else for a career and still get excited when I see a dog on the sidewalk. In my free time, I enjoy planning trips to national parks and doing anything outdoors. I have a German Shepard, a Golden/mix, and a cat.
