After ten years of successful practice in Colorado, Dr. Lisa Gartland returned to her hometown of Escanaba with eagerness and enthusiasm. The warm and tight-knit community fills her heart with joy, reigniting her passion for helping animals. The local support shown to the shelter and all of the area veterinarians is truly fulfilling. Dr. Lisa is currently a member of the AVMA (American Veterinary
Medical Association), MVMA (Michigan Veterinary Medical Association), AAFP (American Association of Feline Practitioners) and is USDA accredited. In her free time Dr. Lisa enjoys being outside and is excited to enjoy the spectacular UP wilderness. She currently resides in Flat Rock with her husband Nick and their three black and white cats, Oscar, Felix, and Stewey. You can often find her in the woods on their property, on Lake Michigan sailing/boating, or birding. She also has three outdoor mousers and is currently raising chickens with the hope of starting a small hobby farm someday.
