Nancy Rice, DVM.
Dr. Rice discovered her passion for veterinary medicine at just nine years old, when she took on a 4H veterinary science project. By the age of 15, she was already working at a veterinary hospital. After completing veterinary college, her first position took her to England, where she passed a rigorous three-day written, oral, and practical exam to earn her MRCVS license.
Thanks to the Air Force, Dr. Rice relocated every three years and has worked at 11 veterinary hospitals since 1991. She remains passionate about all aspects of veterinary care, from the value of vaccinations and the crucial first six months of a pet’s life to surgery, dentistry, dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology, internal medicine, sports medicine, and senior pet care.
A lifelong learner, Dr. Rice stays up to date on the latest advances in veterinary medicine, surgery, and dentistry by participating in weekly online continuing education (CE). She has completed both beginning and intermediate abdominal ultrasound courses and logs at least 30 hours of CE annually. Drawing from 30 years of experience with cats, Labradors, and small-breed dogs, Dr. Rice has gained extensive insight into dermatological, ophthalmic, and internal medicine conditions.
Above all, Dr. Rice believes veterinarians serve as the voice for animals and is committed to caring for each pet’s health with dedication and empathy. She aims to help every pet thrive—and to strengthen the bond between pets and their families—at every stage of life.
Amanda Bruner, DVM.
Dr. Amanda Bruner grew up in California, where she discovered her passion for veterinary medicine at a young age. She volunteered at local shelters and stables throughout her teenage years, further solidifying her commitment to caring for animals. After graduating from Cal Poly Pomona with a Bachelor of Animal Science in 2017, she attended Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2021.
During her time at veterinary school, Dr. Bruner developed a keen interest in soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and preventive care, recognizing the importance of vaccines, spay/neuter, and parasite prevention in keeping pets happy and healthy. She believes in fostering a strong bond between pets and their families by providing compassionate and individualized care.
Dr. Bruner and her husband recently relocated to Lewisburg, Kentucky, along with their two young boys, two horses, three dogs, and a cat. Outside of work, she enjoys horseback riding, cooking, and exploring the outdoors with her family.
