Meet Our Veterinarians

Dr. Elliot

Medical Director

Dr. Elliot’s journey in veterinary medicine began at just 9 years old when he started volunteering at a local animal clinic near his childhood home—cleaning cages, assisting around the practice, and unknowingly stepping into what would become his life’s purpose. His early dedication laid the foundation for a career centered on dermatology and pathology, where he has spent years mentoring, educating, and shaping future veterinarians, including his time as a professor of pathology at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Elliot is eager to continue his history of volunteer work with local animal rescues in South Carolina, something he was deeply involved in while living in Florida. Outside of veterinary medicine, he enjoys landscape and architectural photography, butterfly gardening, and spending time with his wife and family.

Dr. Maria Milhouse, DVM

Associate Veterinarian

Dr. Maria Milhouse discovered her passion for veterinary medicine early in life, inspired by a deep love for animals and a surprising enthusiasm for her own childhood vet visits. That early interest evolved into a lifelong commitment to animal health and wellbeing.

She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Iowa State University in 2025 and has since developed strong clinical interests in internal medicine, dermatology, cardiology, and small mammal exotic care. Dr. Milhouse enjoys the challenge of complex medical cases and is passionate about delivering thoughtful, individualized care while building lasting relationships with pet owners.

When she’s not in the clinic, Dr. Milhouse enjoys spending time outdoors, heading to the beach, trying her hand at golf, or relaxing at home with a true crime documentary. She shares her home with her fiancé, Lane, and their cat, Wednesday.
