Meet Our Veterinary Team

Dr. Compton grew up in the suburbs north of Atlanta and moved to Savannah in 1988 after graduating from the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine. He is our director of medicine, addressing every critical aspect of the hospital and the associate veterinarians for both the Village and Crossroad locations. His years in the field and methodical demeanor make him highly valued.

His colleagues rely heavily on his efficiency and expertise, particularly in the surgical suite.

He and his wife, Shelly, live on Dutch Island. In his spare time, he enjoys training and competing in triathlons and snow skiing.

Dr. Bevere is originally from Louisiana and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our team. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Southeastern Louisiana University in 1996, followed by her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Louisiana State University in 2001. Since then, she has been dedicated to practicing veterinary medicine in the Savannah area.

A respected leader in the local veterinary community, Dr. Bevere currently serves as President of the Greater Savannah Area Veterinary Medical Association. She is highly regarded by clients for her thoughtful communication, thorough explanations, and the quality time she devotes to each patient and family. Her clinical expertise, combined with a strong commitment to client education, makes her an invaluable asset to both our team and the families we serve.

Dr. Bevere lives in Savannah with her husband, Gunner, and their beloved pets: two cats, Lucy and Schroeder, and three dogs, Betty, Greta, and Truman.

Originally from Manalapan, New Jersey, Cindy and her husband Chuck fell in love with Savannah while their daughter was attending SCAD. They relocated to The Landings in 2021 and are thrilled to now call it home. Chuck is a retired equine veterinarian, and Cindy served as the office manager of their veterinary practice for over 20 years, gaining extensive experience in client relations and administrative operations.

Cindy’s professional background also includes serving as Director of Income Development for the American Cancer Society, as well as managing events and fundraising initiatives for Monmouth Medical Center, CentraState Healthcare, and the Visiting Nurse Association. Her efforts helped raise essential funds for cancer research and services supporting underserved communities in Monmouth County.

In her free time, Cindy enjoys walking with their Chiweenie, Remy, reading, and spending quality time with family and friends. Though she admits she’s still perfecting her game, she also enjoys the occasional round of golf. You’ll often find her downtown, soaking in the rich history and charm of Savannah.

Cindy’s warmth, dedication to service, and love for both people and animals make her a highly valued member of the Village Crossroad Animal Hospital team.

Ashley began her journey in the animal care field in 2011, when she discovered a deep passion for training and field trialing dogs. In 2019, she took the next step by enrolling in an animal science program, ultimately earning her degree and becoming a licensed veterinary technician in 2024.

While pursuing her education, Ashley worked in clinical settings beginning in 2020, gaining hands-on experience that complements her academic foundation. She and her husband, Chip, share their home with four dogs and a beloved cat, Cornbread. Ashley also cares for a pack of 16 German Shorthaired Pointers, Setters, and English Cockers—Bethesda’s dedicated hunting companions at their wildlife preserve.

In her free time, Ashley is all about dogs. She enjoys training, hiking, photography, and especially leading structured weekend “Pack Walks”. These outings offer dogs both physical and mental enrichment, structured socialization, and the opportunity to deepen the human-animal bond, something she’s especially passionate about.

Ashley’s greatest strength lies in her compassion and calm presence. She strives to make each patient feel safe and comforted while remaining thorough and attentive in her care. At Village Crossroad, Ashley values the thoroughness of the doctors, the strong sense of teamwork among staff, and the shared commitment to staying curious and always striving for deeper understanding in veterinary medicine.

Born and raised in Savannah, Tim began his career in veterinary medicine in 2020 at Petfix/The Humane Society. His lifelong passion for animal care started early, growing up surrounded by a variety of pets, including guinea pigs, birds, a pot-bellied pig, and many beloved dogs.

Tim has a special fondness for Bully and Spaniel breeds, but his true passion lies in providing compassionate, thorough care for all animals. Whether it’s ensuring accurate vaccinations, maintaining detailed medical histories, or offering a gentle touch and a few treats to nervous patients, Tim is committed to making every animal feel safe and comforted in the clinic.

He takes particular pride in working with scared or anxious pets, earning their trust and helping them feel at ease during their visits. For Tim, the greatest reward is seeing a fearful animal begin to feel comfortable and cared for.
