Susan M Drapek, DVM
Dr Drapek graduated from Michigan State University in 1983 with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, then after a brief but interesting hiatus graduated again from Michigan State in 1990 with a DVM degree. After a wildly varied career including working for the federal government for four years, employment in a variety of small animal clinics, and emergency work, she finally found her niche in house calls practice. She took the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS) course in 1995-96 to become certified in Veterinary acupuncture, and recently has begun what will hopefully become a new career as a Teaching Associate for the IVAS course. In her "spare time" she enjoys all outdoor sports (camping, hiking, white water rafting, horseback riding, etc), playing fiddle and guitar, dancing and singing. To stay sane she collects animals and children.
Terri Doerr- Veterinary Assistant and Bookkeeper Many years ago Terri and Dr Drapek worked as assistants in the same small animal clinic in Waterford, Michigan within months of each other, yet never met. Terri went on to pursue a career in pet ownership and German Shorthair Pointer Rescue that eventually led her to the doors of the Travelling Vet. She works in three businesses as bookkeeper but clings to her job in the clinic to allow her the entertainment of working with animals. She particularly enjoys helping with client education. When not working Terri spends her time outside at home with her many rescued pets.
Tiffany Rouser- Assistant
Tiffany has always loved animals and has shown it by the many rescue dogs she now has at home. She is attending Lansing Community College now, and will transfer to Michigan State later to finish the program to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician.
Julie Palmer-Assistant
Julie has been a part of this clinic since long before it was the Travelling Vet, way back when she was in high school. She took a break to try other employment, but she couldn't stay away. By now, Julie could practically run the whole clinic all by herself. Julie's favorite pets are her rats, and often, if you look close, you'll see she has one riding in her hood or on her shoulder. Don't tell her teachers how often she took them to school!
