Katie Taylor (previously Koehler) DVM, Medical Director
Dr. Taylor earned her undergraduate degree in Biology & Psychology from Virginia Tech in 2006. She then went on to accomplish her Doctorate in Veterinary medicine from Western University of Health Sciences in 2010. As a child, Dr. Taylor grew up in New Hampshire and New Jersey where she developed a love for animals with her numerous pets and knew at a very young age that she wanted to become a veterinarian. Dr. Taylor loves getting to know her clients and their beloved pets and has a special interest in Dermatology, Dentistry and Internal Medicine. She is also certified to perform PennHIP radiographs and the JPS procedure on dogs that are predisposed to Hip dysplasia.
Dr. Taylor's family includes her husband Rodney, daughter Shaelynn, and sons Christian, Nick, Evan and Nate. She also has an Irish Wolfhound named Nessie, a Ragdoll cat named Mufasa and her daughter's Holland Lop bunny named Snowy. In her spare time, she enjoys yoga, skiing, traveling to new places, and most of all-spending time with her family!

Amy Butler DVM
Dr. Butler loves animals and taking care of them and their families. Growing up in a farm setting, she has always been surrounded by dogs, cats, cows, and chickens. She spends a lot of time outdoors, too, and loves to watch animals in nature. At one point, she even considered becoming a marine biologist due to her love of snorkeling and scuba diving. Yet, she decided on a veterinary career and received her DVM from North Carolina State University in 1996. As a vet, she very much enjoys solving problems that help pets heal and feel better. The most rewarding part is nourishing the bond between humans and their pets; it's such a pure love.
In her spare time, Dr. Butler loves paddling (kayaks, canoes, paddle boards), camping, and hiking, especially with her kids and her dogs! Despite all her career accomplishments, her kids are what she's most proud of.

Allison Sanders DVM
Dr. Allison Sanders brings a unique journey to veterinary care, having initially carved a path in the nonprofit arts sector before fulfilling her lifelong passion for helping animals. Graduating with a bachelor’s degree in music and a business minor from UT Austin, she served as a fundraiser for numerous years before channeling her passion into the field of animal welfare.
Her transition to veterinary medicine culminated in earning her DVM from the University of Missouri in 2020. Dr. Sanders finds joy in providing compassionate care to her patients and supporting their devoted human companions. She worked for a general practice in Arlington, TX after graduation, and since January 2024 is happy to call the vibrant community of The Triangle “home.”
While Dr. Sanders specializes in dentistry, soft tissue surgery, and emergency/critical care, her enthusiasm extends to all facets of veterinary medicine. Beyond her professional commitments, she values quality time with her husband Brad, furry companions, and indulges in hobbies like hiking, reading, and baking. Excited to be a part of the Bowman Animal Hospital family, Dr. Sanders looks forward to continuing her journey in animal care with passion and dedication.
