Welcome to South Federal Animal Hospital

Dr. Stelljes was born and raised in South Florida. It was her life long dream to become a veterinarian. She attended Florida International University for undergraduate and attended the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation, she completed a small animal medicine and surgery internship at the Hollywood Animal Hospital in Hollywood, FL., and  joined our practice in 2004 as an associate veterinarian. As of Jan 2015, she is the proud owner of South Federal Animal Hospital. 

Dr. Katz is a native South Floridian. She attended the University of Florida for her undergraduate degree and attended the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine for her doctorate. After graduating, she decided Minnesota was too cold to live in full time and moved back to South Florida so that she could enjoy the warm weather and the beach!

I felt a need to help animals ever since I would see them roaming the streets of Puerto Rico where I grew up. I wanted to pick up every one of them up, get them healthy, and find them homes. Being a veterinarian is and has always been my passion. I could not imagine myself doing anything else. I fulfilled my dream at Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2002.

Dr. Krista Seraydar was born and raised in South Florida. She is a graduate of the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine where she earned a certificate in Shelter Medicine. She also spent her undergraduate years at the University of Florida where she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Entomology and Animal Sciences. After spending a few years as an associate veterinarian, she chose to start offering relief veterinary services. This means that she is able to care for patients at multiple hospitals. It also means her schedule ranges from week to week and she never misses an opportunity to learn something new. Professionally, she has a special interest in endocrinology, feline medicine, and FIP. In her free time, she enjoys fostering kittens, looking for insects, spending time at the beach, traveling, cooking, drinking craft beer, and spending time with her husband Casey, their dogs (Riley and Elsa), their six kitties (Theo, Beans, Moo, Skittles, Moody, and Moonbeam), and their chatty African Grey, Shaka.
