After serving her community for many, many years, the well-loved Dr. Susan Davison sold her business to WellHaven Pet Health in 2019 and no longer is practicing medicine. We began our journey at this hospital in March of 2021 and are loving serving this community. We are located in the beautiful-serene area of Lake Tapps on Veterans Memorial Drive across from the post office and
police/fire station. We have been working hard to refresh and update our hospital with more remodeling to come. We have learned a lot during Covid and found the quieter we keep our hospital the happier are patients are. Our lobby is closed to general traffic. When you arrive at our facility you will call to get checked in whether you are picking up medications or here for an appointment. We will then give you the option of coming in for your appointment or receive full curbside service. We look forward to seeing you and helping with your pet’s needs.

Dr. Stoehr has been practicing veterinary medicine since he graduated in 1983 from WSU. He is an extraordinary addition to our team. He owned and managed Tahoma Veterinary Hospital up until 2005 followed by 14 years of employment at South Hill Veterinary Hospital. Dr Stoehr has an abundance of enthusiasm and knowledge for general medicine and is also deeply passionate about soft tissue and some orthopedic surgeries. He also possesses a skillset in endoscopy and laparoscopy procedures. He is willing to go above and beyond for your pet’s health needs. Dr. Stoehr’s hobbies include adventures in the great outdoors exploring the Pacific Northwest where he loves running, rowing, mountain climbing and camping.

Ann graduated from Pierce College in 2010 with a veterinary technician degree and has worked in the field ever since. She joined the Lake Tapps Veterinary family in May 2021 and is an integral part of our team. Her passion is helping clients through education. Ann is an amazing surgery technician where she excels at anesthetic procedures and dentals. Ann is happily married with 3 kids, 2 dogs, and 3 cats.

Nichelle joined our team in April 2022 and in a short time has become a real asset to our hospital. Nichelle returned to her roots in the Pacific Northwest after spending years on the east coast. She has been working with animals since 2016 which includes working in zoos as well. For those clients that are hearing impaired she is fluent in American Sign Language. When Nichelle isn’t reading books, she is spending quality time with friends and family playing board games as well as bowling. She has two fur babies, a cat named Mylo and a dog named Kylo.

Debbie joined Lake Tapps Veterinary Hospital in March of 2021. She has been in the vet industry since 2012 and loves customer interaction. Debbie is married to a wonderful man, Chris who retired as a firefighter in 2021. Together they raised three amazing children and too many animals/species to list. She pursued a career in the veterinary industry where she could interact with those that love animals as she does. We could not be happier to have her! She has recently rekindled her love for gardening and Sunday family dinners.
