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!

This is how we do team building at Spotsylvania animal Hospital! GO TEAM!
Cynthia moved to Virginia at the start of 2017 to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. She joined our staff soon after and is now on her way to becoming a licensed veterinary technician! She is passionate about all animals with a soft spot for cats and reptiles. She is very busy with school and work, but in her free time she enjoys discovering new music or TV shows!
Jennifer joined Spotsylvania Animal Hospital in 2003. She was so taken by the family of animal lovers she found here, that in 2007 she took her career (and the practice) to a new level by getting a degree in Veterinary Technology from Northern Virginia Community College. Her interests include small animal and reptile husbandry, dog breeding, and pet behavior. She also loves sharing her veterinary know-how with owners who have questions about their pet’s health or behavior. At home, Jennifer and her daughter care for a bull mastiff, bearded collie, a boxer, and various pet reptiles. In her spare time, she enjoys showing her dogs in conformation and rally obedience competitions.
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.
Tammy joined the SAH family in August 2018.  She has always had a passion for animals, but her interest in teh field was triggered when she had to nurse her guinea back to health.  She pusrsued her education through Penn Foster and became a certified Veterinary Assistant.  She is a cat mom to 3 rambunctious boys and owns 2 guinea pigs.
Malinda joined Spotsylvania Animal Hospital in March 2018 as a vet assistant.  She has over 20 years' experience in various animal fields as well as operating an animal rescue.  She has been married for 25 years, has 5 children and 6 grandchildren.
