We’re the Cat’s Meow!
About Georgetown Animal Hospital
As one of the most established veterinary practices in the Hudsonville, MI, area, we have decades of combined experience and a long list of happy clients. Each one of our team members, from the veterinarians to the receptionists, has a deep passion for pets and easily treats every patient like they are their own. (Sometimes, we need to remind the staff to give the pet back.) We have built a reputation for being trustworthy and honest, and wouldn’t be the awesome office we are without our team! Scroll down to get a fun introduction to everyone in the office.
Meet the Peeps!
Lisa Meyer
DVM (Owner)
Read More!
Dr. Meyer performs routine/diagnostic exams (with an emphasis on preventive health care) as well as routine and not-so-routine (orthopedic) surgical procedures. She works not only on dogs and cats, but also treats pocket pets, reptiles and birds.
Dr. Meyer currently lives in Hudsonville (though she would rather be in Hawaii). She has three children: Malena (an MSU graduate – GO GREEN!), Brayden, and Ava (soon heading off to college). Dr. Meyer and her family have three dogs, Cayman (the second cutest little staffie EVER!), Ransom and Yoo-Hoo (the nosiest little pug known to man).
When not working, Dr. Meyer loves to spend time with her family and in the summer you will find her outdoors in the warm sunlight (only if it is above 75F), she would prefer it if we never had to go through a winter again.
Jason Chudy
DVM
Read More!
A native of West Michigan, Dr. Chudy currently lives in Wyoming, MI, with his wife, Sarah, and their son Benjamin. They also have three dogs. When Dr. Chudy isn’t working, he enjoys spending time outdoors (in all the seasons), he likes to fly-fish, hunt and play hockey, as well as cook (his wife can’t). He also spends his time outdoors cultivating a garden, growing fruits and vegetables. He also is big into remodeling their home; I think he fancies himself a handyman.
Stephanie Dorner
DVM
Read More!
Dr. Dorner is a West Michigan native and lives in Grand Rapids with her husband, David. They have three children, Annabelle, Gabe, and Aaron. Dr. Dorner enjoys downhill skiing and would like to learn cross-country skiing. She and her husband have been working on
their sailing game and would like to one day sail their boat from Saugatuck to Mackinaw Island. She and her husband hope that once they get the kids out of the house, they will have more time to themselves and pick up some more hobbies (not that they are in any kind of rush or anything).
Dr. Dorner has a menagerie of pets on her ‘farm.’ For those of you who are curious, she has chickens, a bearded dragon, two ponies, a rabbit, two parrots, multiple cats, three dogs, and of course, her husband (kidding!). That was an exhausting list! It is a wonder she gets anything else done, having to care for all of those guys and her children. It is said that the cockatoo’s screaming may be causing some marital strife, those of you who have ever had one or know of someone with a cockatoo can surely understand! �� – (I know it’s not a cockatoo, but they don’t have one in their emoji list.)

Emily Dopson
Technician
Read More!
Emily was born and raised in Kalamazoo, MI. Emily came to GAH during the height of the COVID pandemic (the good old days), she previously worked at Cascade as a pet care assistant and a veterinary assistant. At GAH, she is a technician, you know your pets are in good hands with her as she treats them like they are one of her own.
Emily has a fun personality with what I would describe as a touch of ADHD, but hey, it makes the days more exciting. Emily goes above and beyond to help out anyone that needs it.
Emily has many hobbies outside of work, many include spending time outdoors with her two dogs. She loves rock and morel hunting (though she does not eat them, the rocks or morels) she also really enjoys camping and hiking. She likes to spend time with her dad, Peter (Go West Ham!!), though I think it’s mainly to mock his accent. They also enjoy throwing an annual Soup Cook Off, which neither has won yet.

Rachel Jansen
LVT
Read More!
Yes, another duplicate name. In my defense, it makes it easy to remember the staff’s names when you only have to remember half of them. �� Rachel joined Georgetown Animal Hospital in 2021 shortly after finishing her schooling from Baker and obtaining her Veterinary Technician License.
Rachel is a native of West Michigan, born and raised. Rachel enjoys hiking and brewing with her husband Nick. The girl also has a wicked tolerance for spicy food and likes to venture out and try new cuisines. She lives with her husband, their 1 cat and 2 rescue pups (Poppy and Casper the Friendly Dog – my god-dog).
Rachel and Nick are also having a BABY!! We are all excited for them!
Rachel is the sweetest person you will ever meet. You can even call her the wrong name (Teresa) and she will respond without correcting you.

Lorial Klug
Technician
Read More!
Lorial was born and raised in Chicago, but don’t worry, she knows Detroit style beats Chicago style every time ��. She attended Mars Hill University in North Carolina and graduated with a major in zoology with a minor in psychology. Lorial’s hope is to one day work for a zoo, as that is where her true passion lies.
Lorial and her husband (Michael) moved to West Michigan so that he could live out his calling of working for a dispensary and also to be closer to their families. It was at the height of COVID that they moved (it was the “in” thing to do).
Lorial joined GAH in the fall of 2022, she came to us from Cascade, where bestie Emily also came from. At Cascade, she wore many hats, she worked as a kennel attendant, then a veterinary assistant, and then made her way to shift leader assistant. She has been a great addition to the GAH family.
Lorial and her husband have recently purchased a home and live there with their dogs (Buddy Billie and Lizzie Lue, what is with the names?) and their two cats.
Lorial and her husband also just had a Baby!!

Along with a daughter, they have two cats (Porkchop and Lambchop), two dogs (Alvin “The Golden Boy” and Tia), and a horse named Dani.

Amy Pierce
Technician

Amy is originally from West Michigan, though she would prefer to spend her time at Drummond Island. She has three boys, Oliver, Jonas, and Regan, who are each super intelligent and active guys. Oliver has just started at MSU (where did the time go?). Amy is big into CrossFit (almost unhealthily so), as is her husband, Jason. She also loves running, crocheting, kayaking, and horseback riding (the girl cannot sit still).
Amy lives in Holland with her three boys, husband and their three dogs, multiple chickens, three horses, and two mini horses. Her newest horse addition Crime is the love of her life and she has gotten to the point where she can ride him!!
Alicia Peless
Technician
Read More!
Alicia’s degree is in Graphic Design from the College for Creative Studies (which she is using to its full potential – sarcasm). Alicia also designs graphic tee shirts in her spare time, so I guess she is using that degree after all!
Alicia is a pescatarian, meaning she is a vegetarian who will also eat fish but no other animal proteins. It does not mean she worships fish. I mention this in the event that someone reading this chooses to bring in snacks for the staff (if any of you reps are reading this), there is one of us that does not eat meat.
Alicia lives in Grand Rapids with her husband Matt, their three dogs, three cats and a lizard named Nora. She and her husband are also hockey fanatics and are always playing in a league.
Atilay Tulu
Practice Manager
Read More!
When not working, Atilay enjoys travel; his favorite destination is the Florida Keys where he frequents to see his boyfriend Nick. As he gets older, he realizes he truly despises winter and wants to be on a beach with palm trees. He also enjoys home projects such as dry-walling, electric work, and laying floors, but not plumbing (never again!). Other activities include reading, biking, cooking and eating out (he is a fiend for spicy Thai or Indian ️).
Atilay lives in Holland with his plethora of pets, three dogs (including the #1 cutest staffie EVER!!), five cats, and one turtle.
Sydney TerHaar
Technician/Receptionist
Read More!
Sydney has Forge, a rambunctious cat who makes it impossible for her to sleep as he enjoys knocking items to the floor in the middle of the night. She has taken on a number of chickens, since 2020, and pampers her flock, of which Stanley, her bantam, is her favorite.
Sydney, in her spare time, enjoys hunting, hiking, camping and generally being outdoors.
Rachel Ambrose

Whovian at heart), reading, and Broadway. Rachel and her husband, Mike, also enjoy traveling and have been to Iceland and Scotland!
Rachel and Michal also recently welcomed home their first child!
