Lisa Whitney

Dr. Whitney is a 1999 Graduate of Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine. Shortly after graduating, she moved to Vermont and went straight into rural mixed animal practice. In 2003, she began working at Danville Animal Hospital with Dr. Stan Pekala. Dr. Whitney purchased our practice in 2008 upon Dr. Pekala's retirement. She has a special interest in quality wellness care and strengthening the human-animal bond. When she's not working, Dr. Whitney is hiking, biking, horseback riding, gardening, milking goats, and spending time with her family in the great outdoors.
