Boyd's Creek Medical Team

Updates Coming Soon!

Ali Shelton

Veterinary Technician

Hi there, I'm Ali Shelton and have been a part-time Vet Assistant here at Boyd’s Creek Animal Hospital (BCAH) since the fall of 2024. I love carrying on the legacy of Dr. Brandi Dukes, previous owner of BCAH...after all, we're family! She was my cousin and someone who inspired me to work in the veterinary field and she gave me an opportunity and I ran with it! I've now been in the field for 15 years & I like to think I'm honoring her memory by helping this team in taking care of our patients each day with a smile. I worked under Dr. Brandi from 2010-2013. Being back at BCAH is a privilege & I'm so thankful to be here, even in a small capacity. I enjoy learning and growing in my technical skills and educating clients about their furry family members. I recently graduated from Penn Foster College, Associate of Applied Science in Veterinary Technology program. My goal is to sit for the VTNE in the Fall of 2025. 

I am married to my husband Johnathon, we met right after I graduated from Fulton High School. I enjoy worshiping Jesus, anything outdoors, scary movies, and reading a good book. I'm here to serve and support you on your pet care journey!

Josie Lewis

Veterinary Assistant

Josie is a veterinary assistant and has 6 years of experience working in veterinary medicine. As an assistant and medical admin at BCAH, she specializes in patient care and client and vendor communication and is known for her positive attitude. 

Born and raised in Seymour, TN, her love for animals and nature came naturally growing up on her family farm, participating in local rodeo, and learning from local farmers. Josie holds an Associate's degree in agricultural science from Walters State community college and is passionate about the conservation of agricultural processes and ways of living. After graduation Josie traveled to Palmyra, VA where she lived and worked for a year at Shirefolk Farms learning and implementing eco-friendly permaculture principles to raise pastured proteins and naturally grown produce. In late 2019 she returned to TN and entered the veterinary field. Having worked in both general practice clinics as well as animal emergency, Josie has developed a wide range of skills and knowledge which make her a valuable addition to our hospital.

Taylor Kinney

Veterinary Assistant

Taylor, one of the veterinary assistants here at BCAH, joined our team in the fall of 2024. Taylor loves working at BCAH and coming in everyday to work with kind, compassionate, and humorous coworkers. She cares deeply for every pet that comes through the doors. She looks forward to meeting you and your fur babies in the clinic soon!

Born and raised in Central PA, Taylor relocated to the Knoxville, TN area due to her husband’s job and couldn’t be happier! After living in Asheville, NC for a year and West Chester, PA for a year, they are ecstatic to be living in this region again. 

Taylor graduated from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA (where the Pittsburgh Steelers host their football training camp!) with her bachelor's degree in Health Science and a minor in Biology. She’s been working in the veterinary field, professionally, since 2018, but she has always had a special place in her heart for animals since she was little. Taylor grew up owning and taking care of her own horses, dogs, and cats back in PA.

Taylor and her husband have a rescue border collie named Obi Wan Kenobi that is their whole world. In their spare time they like to spend time outdoors with their dog, trying new restaurants, shopping, binge watching TV shows, and exploring everything East TN has to offer.
