Viewing Lap of Love VetsDr. Amy
Southeast Michigan
I grew up in the once small town of Midland, Michigan and have always had a deep fascination with animals. This led me to declare—in kindergarten—that I would become a veterinarian. Twenty-one years later, that dream became reality.
I received my veterinary degree from Michigan State University. After graduation, I spent seven years practicing small animal and exotic pet medicine in Memphis, Tennessee. I enjoyed my time in Memphis and the connections I made with my clients and their pets, but I also missed the Great Lakes, my family, and the Midwest culture. I decided to move back to Michigan, and I have been happily living here ever since.
My career in veterinary medicine has been very fulfilling, and I love being able to help animals and their families in their greatest time of need. I have had many pets of my own over the years including turtles, rabbits, a guinea pig, birds, and several dogs and cats. Losing a pet is never easy, but I am fortunate to have been able to care for my pets’ end-of-life needs in the comfort of home, without the additional stress of a trip to the hospital.
After 26 years of general practice, I am excited to transition into end-of-life care because I believe this is an important service and a gift we can give our pets in their final days.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our sweet blue Staffy, Bunny. I also like to garden, beekeep, cook, bike, camp, and paint with watercolors.
