Experienced. Innovative. Female-led.

Thunder Orthopedics opened its doors in 2023 and has quickly become renowned for its innovation in musculoskeletal health and is powered by a team with deep experience in orthopedic surgery. Thank you to our patients for recognizing us with the Gold Award for Finest Orthopedic Surgeon for the third year in a row. We are very joyful to serve this community. We combine over a decade of experience in both direct anterior hip replacements and muscle-sparing knee replacements, with cutting edge innovations such as robotic surgery and laser (photo biomodulation) therapy. After surgery, over 95% of our patients feel so well that they can return home the same day. A seasoned and mature surgeon who has been practicing since 2010, Dr. Megan Swanson and her phenomenal staff are committed to providing outstanding patient-centered care.

Local. Homegrown. Authentic.

Thunder Orthopedics recognizes that local businesses are the backbone of our community, offering unique products and services that reflect the areas’ character and culture... And we are truly “homegrown,” with a staff that graduated from schools such as UVA, JMU, WAHS, CHS, and MHS. That’s a lot of initials to say: we live here and want to take care of our neighbors. When you walk into Thunder Orthopedics, we know your name and we want to know your dog’s name. We also know that sports injuries occur and are proud to have provided urgent care to some of the area’s finest athletes of all ages.

Ask yourself “Am I getting my 150?”

At Thunder Orthopedics, we believe that each person is a masterpiece and has their own proverbial race to run. We consistently seek new ways to keep you moving and enjoying life. The American Heart Association recommends that adults get 150 minutes of exercise a week. This helps cardiovascular health, but is also essential for mental health. At Thunder Orthopedics, we want to support all your goals. If you are not getting your 150 minutes of exercise, please call us and we can help. We work with health professionals across the continuum to coordinate a complete musculoskeletal health care plan recognizing that mobility engages the whole body.

IT'S HARD TO THREE-PEAT...

At home, she has a cat and is raising the next female soccer star.

Gracie Shifflett, BS, LRT

Gracie has sky-rocketed to success at Thunder learning all about insurance, front desk support, EMRs and radiology technician work. Gracie loves seeing our patients reach their personal and health goals. When not in the clinic, Gracie enjoys playing softball, spending time with family and friends, and being outdoors.

Ean Huang, BA

A former competitive figure skater and a classical pianist, Ean is eagerly and enthusiastically fulfilling multiple roles with us.

WHEN SOMETHING ISN’T RIGHT AUTUMN TRAILS VETERINARY CENTER IS THERE TO HELP!

Your favorite four-legged friend didn’t greet you at the door after work. He didn’t even sniff his dinner. Instead, your usually bouncing, barking, boisterous, bestest good boy is just laying listlessly on his bed. He didn’t even raise his head when you offered to throw his favorite stuffed duck!

Something is definitely wrong.

Whether you call Autumn Trails Veterinary Center for an appointment or just gather up your furbaby and arrive as a walk-in urgent care, the first thing our friendly receptionist will say is, “Hold on just one moment while I get a technician for you.”

Licensed Veterinary Technicians, or LVTs, in animal medicine are the equivalent of Registered Nurses in human medicine. Trained in everything from emergency triage and wound care to running lab equipment, doing dental procedures and assisting with surgery,

administering anesthesia, vaccines and medications, and so much more, LVTs are the backbone of every veterinary practice. With so many other better-paying, less physically and emotionally demanding jobs available, these under-recognized medical professionals are becoming harder and harder to find.

However, Autumn Trails is grateful to employ a fully-staffed team of seasoned LVTs to provide care for your pets, and we are honored to introduce you to some of Charlottesville’s Finest!

LVT Courtney has been working for 8 years, with experience in both specialty and emergency medicine. She enjoys being able to build relationships with clients and patients, and is invested in patient care. When not at work, she loves spending time outside, at the beach, and traveling. Courtney, her husband and adorable baby boy share their home with 4 dogs and 7 cats.

LVT Stephanie has been a veterinary technician for more than 23 years. She has worked in a variety of hospitals including a mixed animal practice, a cats only practice, emergency and general practices. When she is not at work she is most likely traveling to Arizona, Utah or some other faraway destination to go hiking. Stephanie lives in Crozet with her husband and 5 cats. She has 4 daughters and 1 granddaughter.

LVT Emily has worked in the veterinary field for more than 20 years, developing a strong background in small animal, equine, and emergency medicine. Because of her passion for high quality medicine, urgent care, and her interest in developing a community-based practice for pet lovers, she co-founded Autumn Trails Veterinary Center with Dr. Cardoza. When not running the hospital and working with her team as an LVT, Emily maintains a small farm in Keswick with her husband and two young children.

LVT Amanda has been an avid animal lover since childhood and started her veterinary career at just 19 years old. Originally from Long Island, NY, she and her husband moved to Virginia about 5 years ago and are currently dedicated parents to 4 cats and 3 dogs. She loves taking the dogs for walks and being outdoors.

LVT Kelly is a graduate of Blue Ridge Community College. She values providing care and support to both animals and their people. When not at work, Kelly enjoys spending time with her family and critters, working in the garden, and being out in nature.

LVT Jessie, originally from Alexandria, VA, became a Licensed Veterinary Technician in 2015. She has worked at both primary care and emergency hospitals, and is currently pursuing a pet loss grief counseling certification from the American Institute of Health Care Professionals.

She has a passion for rescuing senior beagles, and is particularly interested in pain management and senior pet care. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, trying new recipes and listening to true crime podcasts. She currently lives in Barboursville with her wonderful husband, adventurous daughter and crazy pups.

LVT Michelle has always had a love for animals, especially the unique kind! She did her externship for vet tech school at Zoo Atlanta, and after getting her license she worked at The Naples Zoo in Florida for 7 years. She then moved into a clinical setting, working at hospitals specializing in exotics in VA and NC. Now here at Autumn Trails, she enjoys the fast pace of an urgent care hospital and getting to see lots of interesting cases.

She recently settled in Scottsville where she lives with her husband Connor, her Greyhound Sully, her Foxhound Kyle, her Mustang horse Gucci, 2 cats, a pancake tortoise and a ball python snake. In her free time she enjoys riding her horse and anything outdoors she can do with her 2 dogs.
