Dr. Kelly Maxwell graduated from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009 and then completed an emergency internship in North Carolina. For approximately ten years she worked as a general practitioner and an emergency veterinarian in Florida, Oregon, and Maine. In 2018 Dr. Maxwell shifted gears and became certified in small animal veterinary acupuncture through the Chi University. She has a special interest in supporting the quality of life of dogs and cats and has taken additional courses in canine physical therapy and food therapy. She now works primarily as a relief veterinarian so that she can enjoy spending as much time as she can with her many dogs and her partner! She currently lives in Florida and in her personal time she loves exploring nature with her family. Dr. Maxwell joined FirstVet in 2024.
