About Vet

Hello! I've practiced as a small animal emergency and general practice veterinarian in Northern Virginia for the past 13+ years. I'm originally from Wisconsin (Go Badgers! Go Pack Go!) but the east coast has been my home for more than half of my life.

My veterinary medical degree is from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and after veterinary school, I completed a specialty internship at VCA Southpaws in Fairfax. I enjoy emergency medicine as well as internal medicine, geriatrics, and preventative care. I recently received my certification in animal hospice and palliative care (CHPV) and I am a Fear Free Certified Veterinarian.

I share my home with a couple Saint Bernards, a Pomeranian/Lab Mix, and an African Grey parrot.

My dog had a skin problem on her tummy and Dr. Spies made me feel completely at ease about it, and helped with a treatment and maintenance plan. She also included information for me to pass on to my regular vet for future reference. Even when the audio quit working on my end, she communicated very clearly with me and made the appointment a success. I highly recommend her!

OMG, professionalism at is best, I wish I could have her as my regular vet. Great communication between her and I. She listens and will give you her honest diagnosis. She went above and beyond to satisfy my chocolate lab’s needs (Charlie Brown). Thanks again for caring and understanding our situation and making me feel very comfortable. Someone like her is hard to find. Book your appointment with Dr. Spies, you will not regret it ;)
