Our Team

Dr. Sprovero is a native of the Charleston area. She attended undergraduate and veterinary school at Auburn University and graduated in 2000. Upon return to the Charleston area, she worked predominantly in Emergency Medicine until 2019, when life’s changes necessitated a more routine schedule. She joined the team at JIVH in January 2019.

Dr. Sprovero loves veterinary medicine, but especially gravitates toward wound management, gastrointestinal disease, and chronic disease.  She enjoys putting together the “puzzle pieces” of medicine, as well as establishing lasting bonds with her patients and their families. 

While not caring for your pets, she is often found at various sports fields with her teenage boys, Grey and Reeves, and her husband Stephen. The family loves to travel and tries to squeeze in a new National Park every year. 

Fun Fact: Dr. Sprovero worked at JIVH from 2008-2010 when taking a break from the ER when her children were very young. 

Dr. Lawrence is a Charleston native who has harbored a lifelong passion for animals large and small. After graduating from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, her love of the Lowcountry and its people brought her back home.

Her professional interests include neurology, nutrition, and ophthalmology.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Lawrence loves reading, rollerskating, dabbling in various art media, and of course spending time with her own four-legged kids: Pigeon (Boykin Spaniel) and Marzipan (Holland Lop).

Dr. Haleigh Roach is a dedicated and compassionate veterinarian here at James Island Veterinary Hospital. She attended the University of Edinburgh in Scotland where she developed a particular interest in both ophthalmology and dentistry. She is originally from a small town in Maine and, after living and practicing in Carson city, Nevada she is finally settled in Charleston, SC. She has a passion for the field and for making both her clients and patients feel as comfortable as possible.

Her excellent communication skills ensure that pet owners are well-informed and at ease throughout the treatment process. She is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care to all of her patients. When she is not working, Dr. Roach is busy with her 2 dogs, Lionel and Koda, and preparing for the long-awaited arrival of a baby girl with her significant other, Cooper.

Dr. Kaitlin Guffey is a Summerville native and attended the College of Charleston, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology. In 2019, she graduated from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine after completing her clinical training at Auburn University (War Eagle!). She returned home to the Lowcountry, where she practiced for two and a half years before joining the Flowertown Animal Hospital team.

Dr. Guffey has a particular interest in internal medicine, geriatric and end-of-life care, and exotic medicine and surgery. She values building strong relationships with clients and working with them as a team to give their pet the best possible life. She enjoys the unique variety that veterinary medicine offers, and is passionate about providing thorough and compassionate care to dogs and cats, as well as exotic pets.

Dr. Guffey currently lives in North Charleston with her loving animal family: Sarge (Great Dane), Penny (Golden Retriever), Fancy (Persian cat), Gypsy (Tortishell cat), Gina (Bearded Dragon), J.R. (Ball Python), and Melon (Pacman frog). When she is not spending time with her animals, she enjoys reading on her front porch, playing board games, and exploring local venues for trivia, bingo, and comedy nights.
