Our Team

Dr. Sprovero is a native of the Charleston area. She attended undergraduate and veterinary school at Auburn University and graduated in 2000. Upon return to the Charleston area, she worked predominantly in Emergency Medicine until 2019, when life’s changes necessitated a more routine schedule. She joined the team at JIVH in January 2019.

Dr. Sprovero loves veterinary medicine, but especially gravitates toward wound management, gastrointestinal disease, and chronic disease.  She enjoys putting together the “puzzle pieces” of medicine, as well as establishing lasting bonds with her patients and their families. 

While not caring for your pets, she is often found at various sports fields with her teenage boys, Grey and Reeves, and her husband Stephen. The family loves to travel and tries to squeeze in a new National Park every year. 

Fun Fact: Dr. Sprovero worked at JIVH from 2008-2010 when taking a break from the ER when her children were very young. 

Dr. Lawrence is a Charleston native who has harbored a lifelong passion for animals large and small. After graduating from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, her love of the Lowcountry and its people brought her back home.

Her professional interests include neurology, nutrition, and ophthalmology.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Lawrence loves reading, rollerskating, dabbling in various art media, and of course spending time with her own four-legged kids: Pigeon (Boykin Spaniel) and Marzipan (Holland Lop).

Dr. Haleigh Roach is a dedicated and compassionate veterinarian here at James Island Veterinary Hospital. She attended the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, where she developed a particular interest in both ophthalmology and dentistry. Originally from a small town in Maine, Dr. Roach has lived and practiced in Carson City, Nevada, before settling in Charleston, SC. She has a passion for the field and for making both her clients and patients feel as comfortable as possible.

Her excellent communication skills ensure that pet owners are well-informed and at ease throughout the treatment process. She is committed to delivering the highest level of care to all of her patients. When she is not working, Dr. Roach enjoys spending time with her 2 dogs, Lionel and Koda, and cherishing the moments with her baby girl, alongside her partner, Cooper

Dr. Sam Short is a native Charlestonian and graduate from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Short grew up loving the outdoors and all its creatures, which led him to Clemson University, where he graduated with a degree in Biology and minor in Animal and Veterinary Science. 

Professionally, Dr. Short enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, with special interests in solving troublesome dermatology cases, cardiology, and radiology. While he loves cats and dogs, he also enjoys working with exotics including birds, reptiles, amphibians and just about anything that can fit through the door! 

In his free time, Dr. Short enjoys spending time with his Fiancée Valarie and his new dachshund puppy Luna. You can find him exploring the Charleston restaurant scene or relaxing on the beach in his spare time.

Cameron Broach joined James Island Veterinary Hospital in September 2024. Originally from Columbia, SC Dr. Broach fulfilled a lifelong dream of living on the South Carolina coast when she moved to James Island in the summer of 2024.

Dr. Broach graduated from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine in May of 2000.  Her professional interests include ophthalmology, surgery, and small mammals such as rabbits and rodents. 

Outside of veterinary medicine Dr. Broach enjoys all things salt water including saltwater fishing and boating, reading, fitness and attending college sporting events (Go Tigers! Go Vols!)

Dr. Broach shares her home on James Island with her husband, Ronnie, their four daughters, Sarah, Megan, Keira, and Gracey and lots of animals: Fiona (Great Pyrenees), Gus (Golden Retriever), Bailey (maltipoo), and her heart dog Penny (long haired chihuahua) as well as four rescue cats: Oliver, Raisin, Pirate, and Trevor.
