Alexis Andrea Theiss, DVM

Alexis was born and raised in the McLean/Great Falls area with three sisters and a variety of pets from horses to boa constrictors to exotic parrots. There she learned to ride horses at a young age and competed on the local show circuit. Dr. Theiss participated with the local pony club and taught children to ride in summer camps for several years. She spent multiple summers working on a thoroughbred breeding farm where she discovered her love of breeding horses. Dr. Theiss graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Biology before attending the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, where she received her DVM in 2004.

In addition to her regular ambulatory equine practice, Dr. Theiss’ special interest centers around reproduction, foals and emergency medicine. Current interests involve riding her mare Nebelfee, gardening and her eclectic mix of farm poultry. Her hobbies include a toucan named TinTin and never-ending farm projects.

Dr. Theiss lives in Upperville Virginia on a horse farm with her husband, three kids and an assortment of beloved pets. (Source)
