ABOUT US
Spotsylvania Animal Hospital has provided affectionate veterinary care to the animals of Virginia since 1981.About Us
When Spotsylvania Animal Hospital opened in the early 1980s, our beautiful hometown was smaller, and much more rural. Likewise, our original patients were farm animals. In the decades to come, Spotsylvania’s countryside charm attracted more and more people, and with them came new breeds of clientele: dogs, cats, plus domesticated exotics like lizards, ferrets, and even the occasional snake! And all that time, Spotsylvania Animal Hospital, located near the courthouse, has remained central to the community that grew up around it.
For example, our own veterinarian, Dr. Siefker, often provides expert testimony for the Spotsylvania County Courthouse. We are also proud to be Spotsylvania Sheriff Department K-9 unit‘s preferred care provider for the Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, and Bloodhounds employed in their canine units. Additionally, our veterinarians work with Spotsylvania Animal Control to aid abused, sick, or injured homeless animals, and help local wildlife rehabilitators care for injured fauna.
Dr. Corbett and Dr. Siefker were both recognized among 2022’s “Best Vets” by Northern Virginia Magazine.
Spotsylvania Animal Hospital treats all animals with love, respect, and care, and would love to welcome your pet to our family!

Meet Our Veterinarians
Katherine Siefker, DVM
Maryland native Dr. Siefker has loved animals from a young age. She followed her passion all the way to the Virginia Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, where she received her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine in 2003. She has been at Spotsylvania Animal Hospital ever since.
Dr. Katherine, as she’s known around the office, treats dogs, cats, exotics, and even the occasional farm animal. She is passionate about preventative care, pain management, and helping owners strengthen the bonds with their pets.
When not at work, she spends time with her wonderful husband and four amazing children. Her family also includes three dogs—Tank, Bella, and Arlo—plus a cat named Mittens. Whenever she isn’t at work or with family, Dr. Katherine loves to take naps. She also enjoys reading, running, and taking leisurely walks with her dogs.
Meaghan Corbett, DVM
Dr. Corbett, a Massachusetts native, wasn’t always going to be a veterinarian. She originally received her degree in finance from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2003. She worked in banking for about two years, but then quit her job and moved to California with her husband. There, she decided to pursue a job that let her continually learn, be challenged, and work to strengthen the bond between animal and human. She enrolled in medical school, and eventually received her DVM from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, CA in 2012. Following veterinary school, Dr. Corbett interned, and was eventually hired, at an animal hospital in West Los Angeles. Then, in 2015, it was back to Massachusetts, where she has been practicing up until her move to Spotsylvania Animal Hospital in 2018.
Dr. Corbett has a strong interest in wellness and preventative care, as well as acupuncture, dentistry, and internal medicine. When not working Dr. Corbett enjoys running, biking, competing in triathlons and spending time with her husband, her dog Cooper, plus Hallie and Finnian, her two cats.
Madi Braman, DVM
Dr. Braman is a native of Williamsburg, Virginia and has always wanted to pursue Veterinary Medicine. She attended James Madison University for her undergraduate degree and went to Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine for her DVM which she received in 2023. After veterinary school, Dr. Braman worked in Waynesboro, Virginia at a small animal hospital prior to moving to Spotsylvania Animal Hospital in 2024.
Dr. Braman is passionate about wellness and preventative medicine as well as animal behavior. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her fiancé, doing puzzles and spending time with their two pets: a dog, Shera, and cat, Bahari.
