Dr. Tsoukalas graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2011 with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine before obtaining her doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2015. While working as a veterinarian, Dr. Tsoukalas completed training in Transcervical Insemination and is PennHip Certified.\u00a0<br \/><br \/>\r\nDr. Tsoukalas is passionate about general and senior wellness, diabetes management, soft tissue surgery, reproduction and end-of-life care. She enjoys working with and building strong relationships with her clients and helping their pets live long and healthy lives.<br \/><br \/>\r\nIn her free time, Dr. Tsoukalas enjoys attending concerts, cooking, reading, hiking and yoga.

Her calling to veterinary medicine began early\u2014so early, in fact, that her mother recalls animals instinctively gravitating toward her from the day she was born. That lifelong connection ultimately shaped both her career and her philosophy of care.<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nFor Dr. Meaney, veterinary medicine is about far more than treating animals. She is deeply passionate about supporting the people who love them as well, believing that the human\u2013animal bond deserves thoughtful, empathetic care. She views her work as a way to serve others through stewardship of animals, approaching each patient and client relationship with respect, kindness, and purpose.<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nAt home, Dr. Meaney is surrounded by a lively group of animals. She shares her life with two dogs\u2014Albert, a German Shepherd, and Georgie, a small mixed-breed pup from the South\u2014as well as a 10-year-old cat named Mary. She also co-cares for a five-year-old outdoor cat who has made herself part of both her household and the neighborhood.<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nOutside the clinic, Dr. Meaney enjoys spending time with her son, attending church, skiing, hiking, and reading whenever she can. Her life experiences extend well beyond veterinary medicine; she has worked with AIDS orphans in Kenya and supported children experiencing trauma in Uganda\u2014experiences that have deeply influenced her empathy, perspective, and commitment to service.<br \/><br \/>\r\n\r\nDr. Meaney is honored to care for the pets and people in this community and looks forward to building lasting relationships founded on trust, compassion, and excellent medicine.<\/p>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                <div class=\"vetcontainer fullwidth flex--row vert__padding--sm\">\r\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/453\/2025\/09\/Alexis.jpg\" \/>\r\n                    <div>\r\n                        <h2 class=\"margin--none\">Alexis<\/h2>\r\n                        <h3 class=\"margin--none\">Hospital Manager<\/h3>\r\n                        <p><strong>With Cornerstone Since:<\/strong> October 2017<br \/><br \/>Alexis, a lifelong resident of Epping, NH, has always felt a deep connection to the community where she grew up, the same town that is home to our veterinary clinic.
