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.

With 37 years of experience, Dr. Klingele is a seasoned veterinarian who graduated from the University of Missouri, Columbia. Her approach to veterinary medicine blends time-tested traditional remedies with cutting-edge advancements, ensuring the best possible outcomes for her patients. Outside the clinic, she cherish moments traveling and enjoying quality time with my family.

Dr. Woodrum emphasizes the importance of preventative care, including vaccines, annual exams, heartworm and fecal testing, bloodwork, and dental cleanings. Her goal is to help pets live long, happy, and healthy lives while fostering strong relationships with their owners.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Woodrum is an avid scuba diver, currently working toward her divemaster certification with plans to become an instructor. At home, she enjoys spending time with her husband and her unique family of three capuchin monkeys, three cats, and a dog.

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.

Hello! My name is Leslie. I’ve been working in the veterinary industry for 8 years. I enjoy using my technician skills to help patients, educate clients, and teach new coworkers who are new to the industry. 

In my free time, I enjoy camping/spending time outside and going to Cardinals games. 

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.

I started my journey at South Technical High School, where I studied to become a veterinary assistant. I later continued my education at St. Charles Community College and earned an associate’s degree in criminal justice. Throughout that time, I worked at a local animal shelter and animal control facility, where I deepened my love for animal medicine and developed a strong passion for animal welfare.

What I love most about veterinary medicine is knowing I’m helping care for people’s beloved pets as if they were my own. I take pride in showing patience, compassion, and love with every animal I meet—whether I’m helping them recover from illness, keeping them healthy with vaccines, or providing comfort during their final moments. Being part of an animal’s journey is an honor I never take for granted.

When I’m not at work, you can usually find me spending time with my two dogs—Cowboy, my 13-year-old Pitbull, and Bart, a 3-year-old German Shepherd-Pit mix. We love going on hikes together, and I also enjoy reading, whether I’m lounging by the pool or curled up in bed with a good book.

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.
