ALL ABOARD ANIMAL HOSPITAL - Key Persons
Dr. Kaplin grew up near Buffalo, New York around many animals, large and small. From a very young age, she felt a deep connection to animals and knew her path was to become a veterinarian one day. She started volunteering at a small animal hospital when she was 13, and her passion to help animals and pursue a career in veterinary medicine continued to grow. She attended the University of Miami for her undergraduate degree in Biology and graduated with a degree in veterinary medicine from the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada. Her love for Florida influenced her to return to practice in this area. Her goal as a veterinarian is to establish and maintain a trusting and compassionate relationship with both her patients and their people, and to provide the best care possible.
Some of her professional interests include preventative medicine, dentistry and surgery. In her free time, she enjoys painting, horseback riding, going to the beach, and spending time with her dog, Leia, and her three cats: Simon, Jerry and Baloo. She is excited to meet you and your pet as an associate veterinarian at All Aboard Animal Hospital!
Dr. Kevin McAllister grew up in Salisbury, MD and attended the University of Georgia for his undergraduate and veterinary degrees, with a concentration on small animal medicine and surgery. He spent his life growing up around small animals when he worked at his father's small animal practice, which led him to pursue veterinary medicine as a career.
After his education, he returned to Maryland and practiced in his father's small animal clinic for three years. He moved to Sarasota, FL, in 2002 and to Florida's East Coast in 2005. He worked for All Aboard Animal Hospital for a little over a year before purchasing the practice in March 2007. When not at the hospital, he enjoys boating, fishing, and spending time with his own pet family.
