Meet Our Doctor

We are privately owned and operated by Dr. Ashley Cristelli, who completed her undergraduate degree at Rutgers University in New Jersey, where she was born and raised. She then attended the University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine in 2008 and graduated with her doctorate in 2012. Dr. Cristelli transitioned from a solo, mobile equine practice to establishing Glen Springs Veterinary Center in 2018. Since then, she has also become certified in Equine Veterinary Acupuncture and Spinal Manipulation through the Chi University in Reddick, FL.

Dr. Cristelli and her family reside in Alachua on 20 acres, with 5 horses, 3 donkeys, 6 dogs and 2 cats. In her limited spare time, she enjoys competing in jumper divisions with her horses, Grafton and Houdini.
