MEET OUR TEAM

Jeremy Blankenship
OWNER, DVM
Jeremy graduated from the Ohio State University in 2007 with degrees in engineering and veterinary medicine. He has been in small animal practice since 2007 with particular interest in soft tissue surgeries, dentistry and internal medicine. He came to work at AAH in May 2021 and had the privilege of working alongside Dr Patricia Tucker, until her retirement in July 2022. He enjoys reading (fantasy and sci-fi), Star Wars and Marvel movies, and playing computer games with his son Luke and daughter Riley. He and Stephanie are both avid disc golf players, enjoy hiking and camping (though Stephanie insists on air conditioning). The family currently has 5 cats- Experiment 625 (Six), Benedict Cumberbatch (Benny), Sir Charles, Enid, & Lulu(Lucifur). All are rescues and are most certainly dogs wearing moderately convincing cat costumes.

Stephanie
PRACTICE MANAGER & OWNER
Stephanie graduated from the Ohio State University in 2005 with a BA in sociology. She also graduated from Stark State College in 2017 with an AS as a physical therapist assistant. She has held numerous positions that have helped develop her managerial experience, but her true love has always been the veterinary field. Stephanie and Jeremy have been together since 1997 and have two intelligent, beautiful children. Stephanie enjoys true crime podcasts and attending concerts. She especially enjoys all the kitty snuggles and puppy kisses she gets at work every day!

Sherry
VETERINARY ASSISTANT
Sherry joined us in June of 2024 with years of experience doing everything in the field from assisting to managing. She came to us from Arizona! Why??? We ask her would she leave the sunshine????

Bob
CLINIC MASCOT
​Bob was a barn cat, who came in to see us for a tail injury. After evaluation, Dr Blankenship decided a tail amputation would be best. Good thing Bob was looking for his furrrever home because while Bob was here for surgery, the whole staff just fell completely in love with him! You will see Bob walk around the clinic, sleep in his cat tree or even guard the front door. We trained him with an invisible fence so don't worry, he will not run out of the clinic!
