Mary Cate Miller, DVM
Associate Veterinarian

A native Floridian, Dr. Miller earned
her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
degree from the University of Florida
College of Veterinary Medicine in 2018.
While in school, she was president
of the Association of Reptile and
Amphibian Veterinarians Student
Chapter, as well as an officer in the
Wildlife, Zoological, and Avian Animal Medicine club. Directly after graduation she completed a one-year internship at Avian & Exotic
Animal Hospital of Georgia, and she loved
the clinic and the area so much that
she accepted the offer to stay on as
an associate veterinarian once the
internship was completed.

Dr. Miller is currently an active
member of the Association of Avian Veterinarians, the Association of Reptilian and Amphibian Veterinarians,
and the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians, and is also a member of
the American Veterinary Medical
Association. She is especially interested
in avian medicine and surgery,
infectious diseases, and wildlife
conservation, although she loves all
aspects of exotic veterinary medicine
and the wide variety of patients it brings.
She spends most of her spare time
painting and drawing, especially pet
portraits. She also enjoys horse-back
riding, hiking with her dog, kayaking and gardening. Dr. Miller's pet family includes
a greyhound named Captain, cats 
Archer and Poptart, and four snakes -
Barnaby the Boa constrictor, Rhia the
Variable king snake, Nikolai the Russian 
rat snake, and Murdoch the Bredli's
​carpet python.

Will
Practice Manager

Will is the practice manager 
here at AEAHG. Will also
worked at Avian and Exotic
​ Animal Care in Raleigh as a
veterinary technician and
manager overseeing the other technical and pet care staff.
He has managed multiple exotic animal focused pet stores in the
past, which has instilled a
passion in him for the care of
​ exotic pets to this day. Will is
an extremely experienced
reptile keeper and breeder as
well, having worked with
hundreds of different
species. He is also an
experienced aquarist, having
kept freshwater fish species,
 saltwater fish, and coral reef
tanks. While he loves working
​ with animals, he also really
enjoys working with people
and the management aspect of
the job, allowing Dr. Wilkinson
to focus on her job as the veterinarian. Will grew up
here on the south Georgia
coast and he is excited to be
​back home!
