Our Team

Dr. Davis was born and raised in mid-Missouri and graduated from the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. He stayed in Missouri for 2 years after graduation but knew his heart belonged in the South. In 2011, Dr. Davis moved to South Carolina and immediately knew he was going to be here forever. He spent 2011 through 2015  as an associate at Goose Creek Veterinary Clinic and in December 2015 joined the FAH family and has loved treating the amazing pets of Summerville.

Dr. Davis’ interests include advanced dentistry, surgery, geriatric wellness, oncology, and personalized medicine. He believes that no two patients are the same and that good medical care is individualized, not protocolized. Dr. Davis is also proud to be a registered veterinarian for the Canine Lifetime Health Project.

Besides being a veterinarian, Dr. Davis also proudly serves in the United States Air National Guard as public health officer for the state of Missouri. 

Dr. Davis resides in Charleston with his wife, Kerry, their daughter Moorea (“Mo”) and their (very rotten) beagle, Bernard. In their free time, they enjoy trying new cuisine, traveling, and doing home improvement projects.

Dr. Kristen Pignatello grew up in southern New Jersey and later went on to receive her Bachelor’s degree in equine pre-veterinary science from Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio. She was an active member of the equestrian team and worked at a busy small animal practice during her four years of college. She is a graduate of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and just recently finished her clinical year at The Ohio State University. 

Dr. Pignatello is extremely excited to be joining Flowertown Animal Hospital and its amazing team. Her areas of interest include preventive medicine, internal medicine, and anesthesiology. Dr. Pignatello not only loves taking care of furry family members but also truly enjoys developing lasting relationships with her clients.

Dr. Pignatello, her fiancé AJ, and three dogs Tucker, Emma, and Ziggy are new to the Lowcountry and could not be more excited to call this their home.  In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, horse-back riding, and lounging on the beach with a good book. 

Dr. Rebecca Hawk grew up on Long Island, New York, and has traveled all over to obtain her veterinary training but is finally calling Charleston her home. Her Veterinary Technology degree was earned at SUNY Delhi and she completed her Bachelor’s in Biology at Binghamton University. For veterinary schooling, she attended St. George University on the beautiful island of Grenada, West Indies. She completed her year of clinical training at University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. 

She then moved to Charlotte, NC where she completed an internship for small animal medicine focusing on general practice and emergency medicine. Her interests include soft tissue surgery, preventive medicine, diagnosis and management of feline and canine allergies and emergency medicine. Dr. Hawk is overjoyed to call Flowertown her home and build long-lasting relationships with her clients and patients. 

In her spare time, Dr. Hawk loves to spend time on the beach, taking care of all of her plants, doing puzzles and crocheting on her porch as well as exploring all the wonders Charleston has to offer with her husband, Sam, and two adorable rescue dogs, Scarlett and Ellie.

Dr. Magenta Kline grew up in Charleston and graduated from College of Charleston with a Bachelor’s in Biology.

Dr. Kline’s areas of interest include exotic medicine, feline medicine, neurology, internal medicine, geriatric medicine, and emergency medicine. She believes that veterinary medicine is a collaborative process between client, veterinarian, and patient.  She enjoys forming long lasting relationships with clients and her patients.

Dr. Tiffany Nawa was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, IL.  She later went on to attend the University of Tennessee where she obtained a bachelor’s degree in Animal Sciences with a pre-veterinary concentration and a minor in Biology.  She then obtained her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois.

After graduation she decided to trade in the winters for the beach and wound up in Charleston. She resides here with her dog, Kaner and two cats, Khloe and Quinn.  In her free time, she enjoys going to the beach, traveling near and far, working out at OrangeTheory, walking her dog all around Charleston, cheering on the Chicago Blackhawks and Tennessee Vols, and DIY projects around the house.

Dr. Nawa has a special interest in soft tissue surgery, neurology, and emergency medicine.  She believes client education is very important in veterinary medicine and can’t wait to get to know the clients of Flowertown to help choose the best medicine for each of their pets.

Dr. Caitlin McLaughlin grew up in a suburb just outside of Chicago, IL and obtained her bachelor’s degree in business from The Ohio State University. She then went on to Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and completed her clinical year of training at Auburn University.

Dr. McLaughlin’s areas of interest include feline medicine, surgery, internal medicine, and client education. She believes in providing quality and compassionate care for patients and clients. Dr. McLaughlin is very excited to join Flowertown Animal Hospital and can’t wait to meet all the fur babies.

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.

Her areas of interest include anesthesia, toxicology, and emergency medicine. When not working, Dr. Kelley enjoys spending time with her pets and husband, hiking, reading, and crafting.

While Dr. Easley does not see patients primarily, she works behind the scenes with the wonderful DVMs at JIVH offering consultations, ultrasonography, and various procedures for their patients.

Dr. Frankie Easley joined JIVH in September of 2024 as their consulting internal medicine specialist. Originally from coastal NC, she spent 9 years in Raleigh, NC where she completed her veterinary school, 1 year internal medicine focused internship, 3 year internal medicine residency, and 1 year nephrology/urology fellowship at North Carolina State University. She has been a board certified small animal internal medicine specialist since 2022. Internal medicine is a broad specialty which covers diseases of the lungs, endocrine organs, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, urinary system, and immune system as well as infectious disease processes. Of these, Dr. Easley has an overwhelming passion for the kidneys and urinary system.
