Veterinary Hospital in Merritt Island, FL

Dr. Dobin obtained her undergraduate degree and Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois. She practiced at a small animal practice in Muscatine, Iowa for two years before joining the team at CAH. During that time, she also worked at the local Humane Society and provided equine veterinary care on Mackinac Island, MI part time.

She enjoys small animal and exotic medicine and surgery; she is up for any challenge in almost any species!

While not working, Dr. Dobin loves hanging out with her pets Malcolm (border collie/lab mutt), Denali (cat), and Sabi (snake). She enjoys running, practicing yoga, playing board games, and traveling.

Dr. Kim Bishop earned a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering and a Bachelor of Arts in English from Rice University, and went on to obtain her DVM from Texas A&M University. She practiced in Charlotte, NC for several years before joining our team. Dr. Bishop has a special interest in internal medicine and a particular knack for handling even the grumpiest of kitties.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family—whether at Disney World or exploring nature—watching Star Trek, playing board or video games, and running an online discussion and support group for veterinarians who are moms.

Dr. Kellie Nelson’s passion for veterinary medicine began at a young age when a veterinarian visited her family farm to treat a calf and took the time to teach her about the condition and its management. That experience inspired her lifelong commitment to animal health and care. 

She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Lincoln Memorial University and began her career practicing small animal medicine in Tennessee before returning home to Florida. 

Dr. Nelson is dedicated to building strong, trusting relationships with her clients and believes that collaboration between pet owners and veterinarians is essential to providing the highest quality care. She has a special interest in soft tissue surgery and finds great fulfillment in helping her patients recover and thrive. 

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Nelson enjoys spending time with her husband and their many pets, including two dogs, four cats, a bird, and three axolotls. In her free time, she enjoys escape rooms, scuba diving, and traveling.
