Hi, I am Dr. Bethany Cody. I graduated from the University of Florida with a DVM degree in 2003 and also hold a bachelor’s degree from UF. I am a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Florida Veterinary Medical Association. I was Senior Research Laboratory Technician in neuropsychology at UF for 4 years during my post baccalaureate studies and have published several papers. During Veterinary school, I was UF CVM open House Co-Chair and Chairperson. Since graduating with my DVM, I have been an associate and have owned my own mobile practice in south Florida. After falling in love with this area, I sold my mobile practice, bought a ranch in Wellborn, and found the perfect fit at Caring Hands Animal Hospital. I became an Associate Veterinarian at CHAH in June, 2015 and became partner in 2018. My professional interests include diagnostic imaging and surgery. My husband and I enjoy raising registered miniature zebu and Angus cattle, riding our horses, ATVs, or motorcycles, fishing, and spending time with our many dogs and cats.

Hi my name is Brianne (Bri). My passion in veterinary medicine is caring for those who do not have the ability to care and/or speak for themselves. I am a firm believer in animal safety and wellness for my own beloved fur babies and others as well. I have been working at CHAH since 2014. I am currently in school to be a certified veterinary technician.

Hi! My name is Lynsey, I’m originally from a small town in Eastern Oregon. My family owned a cattle ranch, that is where my love for animals started as well as an interest in veterinary medicine.

If I’m not a work, I’m with my husband and 2 boys who keep me plenty busy. We have a 13-year-old blue heeler name Buck and a 6-year-old polydactyl (extra toes) cat name Sammy.
