Meet the Team

Hannah has worked with us off and on for the past few years. We are glad to have her as a part of our team!!

Dr. Angela Holley is a long-time member of the Lake Forest family. She started out working part time until her kids got older and started to leave the nest. She is now our full time medical director and we don't know what we would do without her!  She graduated from Virginia Tech and has three great kids, one cat and two very happy dogs.

Dr. Van Scoik moved to our area from Pennsylvania, where she worked in a mixed animal practice. She is a graduate of Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. She loves to hike and enjoy time with her kitty River.

Mandy has been with Lake Forest Animal Hospital since it opened in 1998. She graduated from NVCC with an Associates degree in Animal Science. Mandy does all the paperwork that Leo can't handle and tries to keep the practice running smoothly. 
She has two daughters, three dogs, three cats, a chinchilla, and four ferrets. Mandy loves to raise babies, especially wildlife.

Leo is our clinic kitty. Many days you'll see him laying around waiting for head bumps and belly love. We adopted him in 2012 from animal control. He was picked up in pretty rough shape and by the time he was better, we were all in love. 

Cathy has been with us for many years. She is a licensed veterinary technician and many days she is found monitoring anesthesia for our doctors. She has multiple dogs and can be found doing agility with them on her days off. 

Chelsea started with us in August of 2021. She is the hardest working person I have ever met. To add a cherry on top, she is extremely kind and so smart! Chelsea has dogs, cats and chickens at home. She also does a little rehab on the side. We wouldn't trade her for anything!!

Sharon has been with us for many years. She previously assisted Dr. Amy and then moved to reception afterwards. It's great having an honest and dependable employee like her. 

Jessica came to us from Addison Animal Hospital! We are so happy to have another CSR. She has 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 beautiful children. 

Cailin started with us in October of 2021. She has enjoyed working with animals so much that she applied and was accepted to the LVT program at Blue Ridge. She has two wonderful cats at home, Carl and Mustache! She also recently got an adorable dog she named Cheers!

Anna started with us in Jan of 2022. She is a commited employee who is very easy going and the animals seem to really love her. 

Kayla was Dr. Miller's right hand lady when they were at Addison Animal Hospital. She came over with him, and we hope she stays with us for many years. She has a brilliant mind and can remember almost every client and their furkid.

Brittany came over with Dr. Miller, and we are so glad she did! Brittany keeps us on our toes and always makes everyone smile. We are so glad she decided to join the Lake Forest family!

Emma started with us in June of 2023. She has an adorable little Doodle named Luna. She is a little quiet, but is trying hard in our fast paced environment. We are so happy to have such a hard working young lady!

Melie started with us in January of 2025. She has been working as a dog trainer for the past several years and has previous clinic experience. She has a gentle touch with animals and wants each pet to feel comfortable and safe during their visit to the hospital. In her spare time she enjoys the mountains and the river with her adventure dog or cuddles with her cat. 

Lexy started managing the kennel in March of 2023. She has done a bunch of dog training, dog grooming, and has a lot of experience with pets. She is doing a great job, and we are beyond thankful for her!!!!

Katie has been working with us since May of 2024.

Julia came over with the staff from Addison Animal Hospital!! She brings many years of experience with her and we are so happy she's here.

Nia started with us in October of 2023. She has previous experience with dogs and is in school for Pre-Vet.

Cole started with us in December of 2023. He has quickly become a very dependable and great employee. 

Chris started in July of 2024. 

Kiya helps fill in when we need an extra hand. She is a little introverted but loves the dogs more than anything else. Her best friend is her dog Pickles who's been with her for 13 years.

Jade has been grooming for about 15 years and has been with Lake Forest for much of that time. She loves what she does and it shows. Her clients, both human and four-legged, adore her!
