Meet Our Team

I dreamed about being a veterinarian since I was 7 or 8 years old.  When I graduated from MSU in 2000, it was a dream come true.  In 2002, I moved to Caseville and developed my laser surgery skills, which has been a passion of mine ever since.  I love keeping puppies and kittens happy and healthy with the help of technology like surgery laser and videoscopes.

Working in a tourist town, I have been able to work with many veterinarians throughout the state.  This cooperative effect led me to become active within the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association. I was honored to be president of the association in 2016 and remain active on the Legislative Advisory Committee.

When I'm not at work helping pets in need, you can find me at home with my wife Lindsay, daughters Ava and Julia, dogs Macy and Atlas, and cats Ralph and Poppy.

I absolutely love the people and pets I have met in Caseville as I look forward to coming to work everyday with a smile.  I hope to see you soon.

Dr. Kevin Stachowiak

I have enjoyed being a small animal veterinarian since graduating from MSU in May 2001. I was lucky enough to join the Caseville Small Animal Clinic in April 2006 after working 5 years in the Bay City area. My biggest passion is helping pets to live their best and healthiest life possible. Working together with pet owner and our amazing team, I get to see this come to life on a daily basis.

My husband Ryan, daughters Faith and Olivia, dog Oakley, cats Wolfie, Gulliver, and Hazel, and I love being in “The Thumb”. We all appreciate its beauty, quietness, and kind people. If we are not at work, school, or a sporting event (for the girls), we enjoy playing euchre together, sitting around a campfire, or just hanging out and laughing.

 
The Caseville Small Animal Clinic is a wonderful place to practice veterinary medicine with a caring and compassionate staff, up to date technology, and a genuine love of animals. Thanks for entrusting us with your furry family members!!!

Dr. Carrie Hooper 

I have been the practice manager since May of 2022. I previously worked as a practice manager at an emergency veterinary hospital. When the opportunity became available to join the team at Caseville, I was excited to bring my organizational and leadership skills with me. I love having a job where I am surrounded by animals every day!
I have been married to Dr. Kevin since 2012 and we have two daughters, two Golden Retrievers, two cats and a horse. When not at work I love to travel, spend time outdoors with my family and horseback ride with my daughters.

I graduated from Baker College of Flint in 2012 with my Licensed Veterinary Technician degree.  I was born and raised in Caseville but moved to the Bay City area in 2006 to be closer to school. Following graduation, I worked at a clinic in Saginaw, MI for 3 years as an LVT.  I decided I wanted to move back to my home town, so I joined the team in September 2015.  I have one rescued dog, Baron, a standard poodle, Odyn, and two cats, Queenie and Stink.  In my free time I enjoy spending time with my two sons, Max and Spencer, camping, and reading.

I graduated from Baker College of Flint in May 2018 and began working at Caseville Small Animal Clinic in August of 2018, after completing my college internship here! I have always loved dogs and cats and I knew I wanted to work with them for my career, since a child. Being a Veterinary Technician is so rewarding! From getting to see puppies and kittens, to nursing our sick friends back to health, to even helping our older pets cross the rainbow bridge- I’m happily, and graciously here to help through it all!

I was born and raised in Elkton. I have one very sassy cat at home named Nema. I am very close with my family and enjoy being with them as much as possible. In my free time I enjoy reading, listening to music, photography, watching TV and movies, and spending time with friends.

I am so lucky to be working at this amazing facility who prides themselves on great patient care. I am looking forward to continuing my growth as a technician here at CSAC for years to come, along with continuing to care for all your wonderful pets!

Hi, I’m Carly! I started working at the clinic in 2018 as a kennel assistant until I graduated Veterinary Technician school and got my LVT license in 2020. When I am not helping care for your fur babies, I am with mine enjoying nature on our long walks or teaching them fun tricks through agility and engagement training. I also enjoy doing crafts with my mom. We have transitioned from scrapbooking and making cards to playing around with pottery and macrame. I currently have 6 crazy lovable dogs and 1 adventurous and daring outside cat. Thank you for reading a little about me and I cannot wait to meet you and your furry little ones the next time you stop in.

I joined the staff of the Caseville Small Animal Clinic in May of 2017 and started out as kennel/assistant/receptionist. I graduated from Baker College in May of 2021 and have been working as a Licensed Veterinary Technician since then. I'm known for instantly falling in love with your pets as soon as they enter the door. I've always had a love and passion for animals, no matter how small, large, mean, or nice. Every single one holds a special place in my heart.

While I don't have any pets of my own yet, there are some at my parent's house. There's Luna and Pepper the cats, Jett the Australian Shepherd, Esio Trot the turtle, Dexter the gecko, and Snuggles the tarantula.

I love working here at CSAC and I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies!

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I began working at the Caseville Small Animal Clinic in December of 2022 during my senior year of high school. At first, I joined as a high school co-op student and quickly developed a deep appreciation for the team and the clinic environment. After graduating, I chose to continue working as a veterinary assistant while continuing my education in veterinary medicine at Baker College of Owosso. I graduated from Baker College in May of 2025 and successfully passed the state board exam to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I have always had a strong passion for animals and take great pride in providing compassionate, attentive care to every patient. At home, I have many animals of my own—including a dog, seven cats, one cow, and two horses. I am truly grateful to be part of such a dedicated and caring team, and I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets!

I joined the Staff at Caseville Small Animal Clinic in September 2009. I first started working in the kennel and slowly transitioned to assistant then to receptionist.  I am extremely passionate about my job and I'm always eager to learn more to better help the animals of our community. I was given the nickname of 'The Cat Lady' at the clinic due to my extreme love of cats. Just like any other loving pet parent I love talking about my pets. So when you are visiting CSAC you may hear me talk about my 2 dogs: Flynn (Border Collie), Mickey (Jack Russell Terrier), or one of my 5 cats: Al, Dean, Donut, Lexani, and Rahko. In my free time I love to craft, read, watch movies, and spend time with my boyfriend Steven. 

I’ve been a receptionist at the Caseville Small Animal Clinic since 2023. I have always enjoyed reception work so when I had the opportunity to do what I love, surrounded by animals and a great staff, I couldn’t pass it up. Receptionists are often the first and last faces clients see at the clinic, and the first one to greet you on the phone. I love helping make your experience with us as smooth as possible whether you’re coming in with your pet on the scariest day you’ve had with them, or coming in with your pet for a routine exam. My husband, Nathan, and I have been married for 10 years and when I’m not here at the clinic you can find me in the thick of motherhood with our four children- Troy, Hattie, Charlotte and Maggie. We also have two dogs, Rosie and Winnie. Life is busy, but when I have the rare moment to myself I enjoy a good book. I also enjoy going for walks with my family, game/movie nights, and doing some online shopping. I look forward to seeing you and your pets at the clinic.

Hi! I’m Mallory! I joined the Caseville Small Animal Clinic team in April 2023. I have always dreamed of working with animals since I was a little girl. I have a small farm at home which includes cattle, chickens, ducks and two horses named Tess and Plank. My world revolves around my dogs Bailey, Ellie, and my cat, Mr. Kitty! I love learning new things so I can provide the best care for my own pets, as well as our client’s pets.

I’m so grateful to be a part of the Caseville Small Animal Clinic team and look forward to many more years here. I am excited to meet your pets and give them the up most care and love I can provide as a veterinary assistant!

Hi! I’m Heather! I joined the Caseville Small Animal Clinic in March of 2012. I’ve always had a passion for large and small animals. When I was young, I loved catching frogs and showing my dogs in 4-H. I care for all living things. I am a certified groomer and currently enrolled in Victoria Stillwell academy for positive dog training. At home, I care for 3 dogs, Jewels, Ed, and Bullet, as well as my cat Star and my green cheeked conure Medusa.

 
I enjoy spending time with my son Dakota and participating in the many outdoor activities Michigan has to offer.

I am honored to be part of the Caseville Small Animal Clinic team! I look forward to seeing you and your fur-kids to give them the care they need and deserve. 

My name is Brianna Armbruster and I have been working at the Caseville Small Animal Clinic since August 2021. My original career plans were to become a veterinarian which led me to shadowing the doctors here. I was soon offered a job and just could not pass up the opportunity! I started out as a medical transcriber and slowly transitioned into a veterinary assistant/receptionist role. I am currently going to college at Michigan State University to earn a bachelor's degree in animal science. Outside of the clinic, I work on a dairy farm and raise goats with my mom. Although my plans of becoming a veterinarian have changed, I still love my job and co-workers here at the Caseville Small Animal Clinic!

Bio Coming Soon....

In August 2015 we finally found the purrfect kitten to become O’Shay’s “little brother”.  You may hear them fighting in the hallways, but don’t all brothers fight?  Touche does great with people and cats, but is still in the process of getting used to dogs.  So don’t be alarmed if he hisses at your dog, he would never hurt them.  Just like O’Shay, he is here 365 days a year and is in the training stages of becoming watch cat number 2.

Cliché came to us in July 2018 as an injured kitten. We didn't plan on keeping him but him and Touché became instant brothers and we couldn't bare to separate them. It doesn't take long for this little cat to make a huge impression on everyone he meets. If you stop by the clinic you may see him lounging on the front desk. Be carefully if you have a purse or carrier. He has been know to climb into them.
