Kayla Boyer, DVM Owner/ Doctor
Email drkboyer@speedwayvet.com
Dr. Boyer is a native of Oklahoma, where she attended the Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating in 1995, Dr. Boyer practiced medicine in Maryland in a predominantly equine practice. Dr. Boyer decided to move to Arizona based on her experiences working on the Hopi Indian Reservation as an extern. She has been practicing small animal medicine exclusively since relocating to Tucson in 1996. Dr. Boyer enjoys the animal and human interaction of preventive medicine, and the diagnostic challenges of internal medicine. Her overall favorite area of veterinary care is in surgery.

Outside of the hospital, Dr. Boyer enjoys outdoor activities, such as camping, hiking and “day trips” on her motorcycle. In 2005, Dr. Boyer began taking flying lessons to obtain her private pilots license.

She says flying is her “therapy”, as nothing is as peaceful and humbling as the sky.

Kayla shares her home with her partner, Mary, and their three dogs Giovanni, Ruger, and John Doe (below).

Jaggers - Hey there human. I'm Jaggers. I'm the King of the World. At least, this world. I'm the REAL owner of Speedway Veterinary Hospital, but I permit the humans to think they are actually calling the shots. I've been supervising these humans for almost 4 of your years. I've inhabited this body for about 5 to 5-1/2 of your years. Every so often I donate a little blood to one of my brethren, and I permit the humans to practice their silly little CPR drills on me. I do get bored... They do it over and over and over again... like they just insist on getting it perfect every time. Oh Well... What's a superiorly intellectual feline to do?

Kathleen Clisham recently moved to the Tucson area from Chicago, Illinois. She is ecstatic to find a clinic with such a devotion to small animal care and a wonderful team to work with. Kathleen has worked in the veterinary industry for 6 years and has a true passion for the bond between humans and companion animals. She is currently earning a degree in Veterinary technology and an associate’s degree in Science. Kathleen has a Miniature Pinscher named Kahlua, a Chihuahua Malibu, Two Rottweilers Guinness and Tecate, five cats, Mortimer, Max, Patron, Whiskers and Sebastian, five doves and a parakeet. In her spare time she loves to design and create clothes and accessories for her pets.

Robin Creson has lived in Tucson, Arizona since 1991, originally from Fort Worth, Texas. Robin lives with her Husband RJ and their four “kids”: Puma, a fat but very happy and extremely spastic tabby cat; Smeeties, a stuck-up and self proclaimed “most gorgeous” calico cat; Dawn Chickles “Chickie” a Chihuahua rescue that has a personality all her own and no words could really do her justice; and last but not least, Hurley, a three-month-old lop

eared bunny. Says Robin, “I am extremely happy to find such a great environment to work in with such amazing people and of course animals. In my free time I love watching horror movies and am always adding to our horror movie memorabilia collection, going on random road trips, and doing arts and crafts.” Robin is our Speedway team’s wonderful, caring multi-tasker in charge of the front desk. We are so very happy to have her be the first smile you see when you arrive at Speedway Vet.

Stephanie Sara is very happy to be living in Tucson and working at Speedway Veterinary Hospital. She grew up in Prescott, Arizona, and moved here six years ago to attend the University of Arizona. She graduated in May 2007 in Biosystems Engineering, but greatly missed working with animals and in the health care field. She spends her free time mostly taking her dog, Honey, and her boyfriend AJ's dog, Quimby, on walks in the desert.

Diaundra Jackson moved to Tucson from Gilbert, Arizona in 2006, and is currently a Veterinary Science major at the University of Arizona. This is her first job in the veterinary field, and she is absolutely delighted to have made her debut at Speedway Veterinary Hospital. Having grown up around an ever-changing plethora of pets her entire life, Diaundra is ecstatic to be surrounded by animals every day, and can’t believe she actually gets paid to do it! She loves working with Dr. Boyer and the rest of the Speedway Vet staff, and is grateful for the opportunity to learn so much while working in such a positive, charismatic environment. She has two hilarious kittens: Bwana, a sweet and loveable orange tabby, and Xena, a white and apricot spaz, both of which are spoiled rotten and are the loves of her life. When she isn’t at school or the hospital, Diaundra enjoys reading, watching old movies, playing the violin, shopping, camping, and going on road trips.

Cate comes to us from the Chicago land area, although she is no stranger to the Tucson area. Cate moved from Illinois, to Tucson with her family in 1996. After 11 years she decided she would try the midwest living again, but after the two worst winters in 30 years she decided Tucson was her real home. Cate enjoys being outdoors as much as possible with her best friends, her boyfriend Bobby, his daughter Maddie, and their two, four legged kids Xena (a black lab/greyhound/german shepherd mix), and Grimey (a chihuahua). Cate started her career in the veterinary field 3 years ago as a receptionist and worked her way to a more hands on position as a veterinary technician. Cate has throughly loved her transition back to Tucson, and into a hospital with such caring people who are as passionate about what they do everyday as she is.

Working the past 4 years in Veterinary Emergency Medicine, Kathy is glad to be at a practice where she Various%20679.JPG
