Meet the 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.

We are thrilled to have Dr. Miller join our team. Dr. Miller owned Addison Animal Hospital from 2001 until he decided to merge with Lake Forest in 2023. He brings a wealth of experience. He received his undergraduate degree from Virginia Tech and his DVM from the University of Georgia. Dr. Miller enjoys a close-knit relationship with his clients and will bring advanced surgical skills to our practice. He is an active member of the Lynchburg community, through his church, the Lions Club and county school board. Dr. Miller is an avid fisherman, gardener, woodworker and enjoys working on his farm.

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.
