After practicing in the Collierville area for over eight years, Dr. Kelsey was ready to start The Kelsey Canine Medical Center on May 14th 2007. It is the fulfillment of his dream to establish the first local veterinary practice devoted solely to the health of your canine companion.

Dr. Robert Kelsey is a native Memphian with his family roots right here in Collierville dating back to the 1800's. He is a 1999 graduate of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine and also holds a Bachelor's degree in Zoology from Auburn. He and his wife Fran are active members of Grace Evangelical Church. They have two sons, Carrington and Knox, and daughter, Ainsley. Dr. Kelsey shares his bed with his Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named "Chloe".

Outside of veterinary medicine his passions include spending time with his family, reading, and the outdoors. Dr. Kelsey's areas of special interest in veterinary practice include endoscopy, orthopedics, gastroenterology, and dermatology.

Geri Walter - Having several dogs helps to impress upon Geri the TLC needed to keep her canines healthy throughout their lives. This transfers to better care and compassion for our canine patients. Personal pets are Montauk, Indigo, Cookie, Scout, Maddie, Tambur, Briggs, Charlie Five-Oh and Oni.

Jennifer Keirce - Jennifer is a 2002 graduate of Rhodes College in Memphis. She has a B.A. in political science, but her love of animals has led to several animal related positions such as horseback riding instructor, zookeeper at the Memphis Zoo, horse-drawn carriage driver and now to her position at Kelsey Canine. Jennifer doesn’t have a dog of her own right now, so instead, she spoils her canine “nephew,” a Vizsla named Peyton.

Amanda Wolfe - Originally from Mississippi, Amanda earned an associate’s degree from NWCC in applied sciences before completing her training as a veterinary technician at the University of Mississippi’s College of Veterinary Medicine.
