Dr. Hannah Allen, DVM
Owner & Veterinarian
From childhood dream to reality, Dr. Hannah Allen’s journey into veterinary medicine has always been driven by purpose. Her passion for animals began early, but it was her love for people that truly shaped her vision for Lyman Vet. With years of experience in both general and urgent veterinary practice, Dr. Allen brings a thoughtful, relationship-focused approach to every patient interaction.
As the founder and lead veterinarian, Dr. Allen is committed to creating a clinic where clients feel seen, heard, and supported—and where every pet receives individualized, expert care. Her gentle demeanor and clear communication style help families feel at ease, whether they’re visiting for a routine check-up or something more urgent.
Outside of work, Dr. Allen enjoys life in beautiful Upstate South Carolina. She spends her time outdoors, giving back to the local community, and relaxing with her own beloved pets.
Dr. Katy Bailey, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Katy’s dream of becoming a veterinarian started sometime around third grade. Katy grew up on a multigenerational family farm in Indiana, where her childhood was filled with showing livestock and community service through the 4-H program. While she has always loved animals, the kindness and compassion that local veterinarians showed Katy and her family had the greatest impact on her. Katy graduated from Oklahoma State University in 2014, and after 7 years of practicing in Tennessee, followed her childhood friends to the Upstate in 2021.
Dr. Katy is so excited to practice with the team at Lyman Vet and impact her community, local pets, and their owners. Katy takes a collaborative approach to veterinary care with her clients and focuses on helping all feel comfortable through open communication and education. Katy feels so fortunate for the relationships she has built with her clients and patients over the years, and these relationships are truly her why. Outside of work, Katy enjoys all things outdoors, and with her boyfriend, Kevin, she shares their home with two pups, Hank and Bruh, and two kitties, Wally and Bitsie.
Meredith Kendall
Hospital Manager
With over 21 years of experience in veterinary medicine, Meredith Kendall is the heart behind the operations at Lyman Vet. Her career began at the front desk as a part-time receptionist, and her natural leadership and deep empathy soon guided her through the ranks—as a veterinary assistant and, ultimately, into hospital management.
Meredith brings a rare combination of industry knowledge, compassion, and organizational excellence. She’s deeply invested in the growth of her team and has mentored many who’ve gone on to become veterinary professionals themselves. Her steady leadership and warm presence shape the balanced, respectful environment that defines the Lyman Vet experience.
At home, Meredith shares life with her two dogs—Joy, a hound/pittie mix, and Xander, a playful shepherd pup—along with three cats: Magneto, Savannah, and Owen. When she’s not keeping the clinic running smoothly, she enjoys hiking with family, volunteering in her community, and participating in church events each summer.
