Meet the veterinarians
About Dr. Kristin Brooks
I grew up in Toledo, Ohio, where even as a child I was fascinated by animals, medicine, and all things science. I knew I wanted to be a veterinarian from a very early age. While no specific event made me choose this path, being a veterinarian has always just felt right. I’m proud to say that that feeling has evolved into a rewarding career.
I attended the University of Findlay for my undergraduate education and Michigan State University for veterinary school. As a veterinarian, I enjoy general practice medicine because I have the opportunity to see a little bit of everything and develop long-term relationships with my patients and their families.
I believe in the importance of providing pets and their owners with as peaceful a transition as possible during the euthanasia process. Being able to provide this in the client’s home, where the pet is most comfortable and surrounded by love, is an absolutely priceless gift.
About Dr. Sarah Ryan, DVM
I grew up out in the country in a suburb of Dayton, Ohio where I enjoyed the companionship of a dog, many outdoor cats, and a few hamsters throughout my childhood. My deep love of pets and my desire to serve the community inspired me to become a veterinarian.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Biology and Pre-Veterinary Sciences from the University of Findlay and my doctorate from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation, I focused on small animal companion general medicine and surgery.
Being able to build a bond with families in their time of need and help ease their loved one’s pain is a privilege to me and I was honored to have the opportunity to expand Lap of Love's services to our community in 2019.
Outside of work you can find me caring for and having fun with my family which includes several sweet dogs and my darling daughter!
