Lauryn Guinn, Office Manager
I started working in the field in 2018 as a receptionist. I expanded my role by assisting veterinarians in exam rooms, patient care, collecting samples, radiology, filling medication, surgery prep, surgeries, client communication, and most recent, medical supply ordering. I really enjoy being part of a team that always puts clients and their pets first. I take pride in making a difference in the lives of pets. I was very active in Girl Scouts and earned my Bronze, Silver, and Gold award. While being a Girl Scout, I was selected from hundreds of applicants to go on two international trips to World Centres, Our Cabana in Cuernavaca, Mexico, and Pax Lodge in London, England that included a day trip to Paris, France. |
At home, I have a 7-year-old Australian Shepherd named Stef Leppard, two 12-year-old cats named Tory and Pip Pip Potato Chip, an 11-year-old deaf cat named Fatty Bo Batty, and I am currently fostering two rats named Ratalie Portman and Ratniss Everdeen.
In my spare time, I enjoy building terrariums, playing video games, watching movies, relaxing with my furry friends at home, and spoiling my nephew any chance I get.

I grew up in Omaha, NE. I have always had a love for animals from a very young age. I started working with animals 14 years ago after I got my first dog. I have worked in many different pet industry areas, from boarding facilities, grooming, daycare to veterinary medicine. I have been working in the veterinary field for almost 7 years. I truly enjoy my interactions with each of our clients and providing the best possible care to their beloved pets. I look forward to continuing to learn in the veterinary field. My husband and I have 4 dogs, Husker, Rosie, Dev (all Cockapoos), and The Brown Dog. (English Lab). We recently moved back to the Kansas City area from Colorado to be closer to our family. I am a huge sports fan, and I love the Nebraska Cornhuskers, Chiefs football, and the Royals. |
When I am not working, you can catch me on the golf course, hiking, running, boating, and hanging with my friends and family.

I am the resident cat lady. I was brought on to the team in July 2021, when our clinic celebrated being open for one year. I’m brand new to the veterinary field, having spent the last 11 years in management in the coffee industry. My husband and I were just married on October 2nd, 2021, and live in south Overland Park with our three feline children. We have Sweet Dee, a five year old three-legged calico, Spooky Beans, a 1.5-year-old black cat, and our baby Couscous Caboose, a six-month-old long-haired orange kitten. I enjoy drawing, cooking up new recipes, taking pictures of my cats, and taking walks in parks in my free time. My husband and I love to travel together and plan on taking a trip to Sweden and Norway in 2022. |
Roxanne Suhr, Vet Assistant
I began her journey in Veterinary Medicine when I was 14, working at a local Kansas City kennel. Over the years, I have continued to develop skills in both technical and client communication. Now a Technician Assistant (a technician in training), I can assist in exam rooms, work in the lab, answer client questions over the phone and assist with care for hospitalized patients. I am currently pursuing my certification to become an RVT(Registered Veterinarian Technician). I spend much of my time off studying, attending online classes, and continuing education training for my strong interests in cytology and animal dentistry. When I have downtime, I enjoy spending it with friends, being outside as much as possible, watching football, and pet sitting. |
