Stop by Lakewood Animal Hospital's lab and you will likely meet Patty, our Lab Supervisor. Patty joined VCA in 2019, bringing many years of experience with in-house lab operations and protocols including maintaining our complement of IDEXX diagnostic equipment.

With a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University, it was a passion for animals and the human/animal connection that brought her to the veterinary industry. Her favorite aspect of the job is being able to promote exceptional veterinary healthcare by providing real-time diagnostics. 

Patty and her husband are long time Lakewood residents. She loves reading, nature walks and learning new things, and is constantly inspired by her two daughters.
