Meet the Doctors

Dr. Peterson graduated from Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2019. 

Her special interests include surgery and senior pet care. She strives to work with each client in order to come up with a care plan that best suits their pet's needs. Being certified in Veterinary Medical Acupuncture allows her to offer different approaches to her patient’s care. 

Outside of the office she prioritizes time with her family. She met her husband Travis in veterinary school. She became a mom in 2023 to her son Adam. They have two spunky mixed breed dogs, Honey and Hazel, two sweet barn cats, a Morgan and a Quarter Horse.  A native to west Michigan, Dr. Peterson loves spending time during the summers at Lake Michigan. She also loves quilting, sewing and reading.

Elizabeth Gilroy, D.V.M graduated from the Michigan State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. Her veterinary interests include general practice and behavioral medicine. 

Dr. Gilroy likes to spend her spare time walking in the woods, playing Pokémon Go with her son, and adding to her ever growing collection of plants, especially succulents. 

Dr. Stephen Thimmig has expanded the business considerably. Starting with five staff members in 1986 the team grew to twenty-six members in February 1999. On June 1st, 1998 Three Shears For Pets, attached to the West End of the office, was opened to meet the grooming needs of the community's pets. On August 1st, 1998 Dr. Thimmig renamed the hospital facility 'Pet Health Center', and for a future boarding facility registered the name 'Pet Bed and Breakfast'. The new names more accurately represent the broadened activities of the office.
