Profile for Allison Hiers
Dr. Allison Hiers, DVM
Owner & Veterinarian
Allison G Hiers grew up in Jacksonville Florida, but Gainesville has been her home since 1996. She received her BS and Masters degrees from the University of Florida Department of Animal Science, where she also met her future husband, Dr. Eric Hiers. Following graduation from the UF Veterinary School in 2006 she worked as a mixed animal practitioner in Belleview, Florida while studying to receive her Veterinary Acupuncturist Certification at the Chi institute. 


In 2007 she worked at Trenton Animal Hospital for a short while before taking maternity leave to have her second child. Dr. Hiers spent the next couple of years working part time at Newberry Animal Hospital and West End Animal Hospital, while running her own veterinary acupuncture mobile business for small animals and horses. In May of 2010, she became co-owner of Trenton Animal Hospital with her husband. 

Dr. Hiers professional interests include acupuncture for small and large animals, surgery, and internal medicine. When she is not at work at the clinic she is hard at work at her more important job, mother of three amazing children, Colton, Taylor, and Ashton. Dr. Hiers personal interests include traveling, hiking (really doing anything active outside) and attending any Gator sports events-GO GATORS!


Dr. Brittany Bisinotto, DVM
Veterinarian
Dr. Brittany Bisinotto, also a true Floridian, was born in Tampa and raised in Palm Coast. Unlike many of her peers, she didn’t always want to be a veterinarian. She graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in biomedical engineering. During her senior year she worked for the late Ron Wilson, former state veterinarian of Tennessee and volunteered at the Nashville Zoo. After visiting South Africa on a month-long wildlife veterinary excursion, she was hooked and knew that a career in veterinary medicine was meant to be. She earned her master’s degree in Animal Science at the University of Florida while also working full time as a veterinary technician. In 2014 she graduated from Ross University’s School of Veterinary Medicine after completing her clinical year at the University of Florida.

Before finding the gem that is Trenton Animal Hospital and now Tricounty Veterinary ER, Dr. Bisinotto practiced in south Florida, Minnesota, and did relief work in the greater Gainesville area. Her professional interests include soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and promoting quality of life with a multimodal approach in senior patients. Dr. Bisinotto is passionate about client education and believes that the more informed owners are, the more prepared and empowered they’ll be to make decisions on behalf of their furry family members. 

Dr. Bisinotto lives in Gainesville with her husband Rafael, a fellow veterinarian and professor at UF’s College of Veterinary Medicine, and their 3 daughters, Lena, Zoe, and Piper. Dr. Bisinotto enjoys spending time with her family, reading, gardening, and live music.

Profile for Kristen Macdonald
Dr. Kristen Macdonald, DVM
Veterinarian
Kristen Macdonald joined us in April 2024 and has been an amazing addition to our team. Dr. MacDonald is a UF CVM classmate of Dr. Allison Hiers, the owner, graduating with her DVM in May 2026. Following graduation from vet school she went to work at Suburban Animal Hospital in Gainesville Florida and worked there for 17 years. 

In the spring of 2024 she started part time relief work to be able to spend more time with her 4 children and taking care of her farm. She joined our staff as a relief vet in April but loved it so much she came on board a steady 3 days a week this past summer. 

One of the things that she loves the most about Trenton Animal Hospital are the clients that she has met and establishing lasting relationships with them and their beloved pets. Nurturing the veterinarian-client/pet bond and educating our clients is of utmost importance to her and she looks forward to doing so for years to come.
