Our Doctor
Dr. Alicia Price Keener
Veterinarian - Medical Director
In practice since 2014
Since a young age, Dr. Price has had an undying love of animals. She tried to doctor and save everything she could, including insects! Dr. Price earned her Bachelor’s degree from West Virginia University in 1995 where she majored in pre-veterinary Animal Sciences. She then obtained her D.V.M. through Tuskegee University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1999. She shares a home with her husband Mike, daughter Emily, and son Drew, along with her “mini zoo” which includes 3 dogs, 1 cat, chickens, a bearded dragon, rabbit, crested gecko, leopard gecko, canaries, hamster, 2 hedgehogs, and a koi fish. She is passionate about preventive care and working with the Humane Society.
Our Veterinary Team
Town & Country has been blessed with a team of wonderful people. These are the people who answer the phones, greet clients, go over instructions at discharge, and care for our patients. They are amazing!
Brittany McKinney
Years in Practice: Since 2013 Brittany joined the clinic in September 2013. She has had animals all of her life, from hamsters and rabbits to cows and horses. She always had a dog in her life, as well. Brittany knew as a seven year old child that she wanted to grow up and help animals. She has lived on a farm since she was ten years old. Being around animals is where Brittany feels most at peace and at home.
Madison Ellis
Madison grew up in Union County and went on to graduate from UF with a bachelor of science degree, specializing in Animal Sciences. Following graduation, she started working at a local veterinary clinic as a receptionist before becoming a technician. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time wih her animals which consist of 6 cats, 4 dogs, 10 chickens, a turkey, and a pig.
Tricia Morgan
Years in Practice: Since 2023 Tricia has been with Town and Country since October 2023 but has many years of experience with other veterinary clinics in Jacksonville and the surrounding area. She loves spending time with her son and two dogs, Marley and Lady.
Dakota Cedar
Dakota started with us in February 2024 but came with years of experience in handling animals of all shapes and sizes. When she’s not helping your fur babies here at Town and Country, she spends time with her beautiful paint horse, RJ, that she loves to barrel race with and her Australian Shepherd, Two Face.
Abigail Peacock
Years in Practice: Since 2021 Abby is the friendly face that everyone gets to see when they visit Town and Country. She loves animals and it shows in her compassionate conversations with clients when they come in to find help for their fur babies. She has two dogs and one cat that gets spoiled (cause how else should they be?). They sometimes make an appearance at reception so be sure to say hello to Poppy or Charlotte if you see them!
Gladys Marrero
Originally from Columbia, Gladys loves to spend time with her fur babies Cookie and Bella when she’s not helping out at Town and Country Vet Clinic. She loves to cook and has a heart of gold.
Our Clinic Mascot
Mega came to the clinic back in 2013 as a kitten who was very, very sick. He was able to pull through his sickness, and in the meantime, won over the hearts of everyone here at Town & Country. He was born with some minor health issues that affect his vision, so he doesn’t see well at all, but somehow has managed to map out the clinic and can find his way around pretty well.
He was also very comforting to us when we lost our first (and, at that time, only) clinic cat “Ilean”. Ilean had been around for almost 13 years when she passed away just recently from Feline Pancreatitis. Mega helped us cope with our loss and has been, once again, emblazoned in our hearts as one of ours.
Megamind is no longer with us but will forever stay in our hearts and memories here at Town and Country. He lost his battle with heart disease and chylothorax (fluid building up in the chest) in May 2023.
