Dr. Joyce

Dr. Joyce is so thankful to be part of this amazing Golden Heart Veterinary team and is looking forward to providing excellent service and compassionate care to the pets of Windermere. She grew up in Southwest Florida, but  has family ties to Minnesota and so completed her undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Minnesota (Go Gophers!). Dr. Joyce then returned home after graduation to work at the Rookery Bay Reserve in Naples, FL as an education specialist teaching the public about the diverse estuary ecosystem. She loves all critters, especially low tide critters! She graduated from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in 2019. Dr. Joyce then started her clinical work at a busy general practice in Southwest Florida, before eventually making her way to Orlando. She looks forward to connecting with her new clients here at Golden Heart. Outside of work, Dr. Joyce enjoys yoga, performances at the Dr. Phillips Center and trying new restaurants with her husband, Alex.
