| Lea McWilliams, D.V.M. Dr. McWilliams is fairly certain she was meant to be born in Alaska, unfortunately, she had to grow up in Texas instead. Immediately after earning her D.V.M.(Magna Cum Laude!) from Texas A&M in 1991, she moved to Alaska and has practiced at Alaska Veterinary Clinic ever since. Tutored all these years by Drs. Law and Froeschle, she enjoys providing lifelong care for family pets. In her spare time, she has fun boating in Prince William Sound, remodeling houses, and gardening. She is married to Doug and they share two dogs, Cricket the Cairn Terrier (whose motto is "cute is enough"), and Rufus, a Belgian Malinois. |

Lindsay Wingerter, D.V.M. Dr. Lindsay Wingerter is very happy to have joined Alaska Veterinary Clinic in September 2007. She grew up in Fairbanks, AK. She received her bachelor's from Montana State and her doctor of veterinary medicine from Washington State. Those eight years out of Alaska filled her lifetime limit. When she's not helping people and pets she enjoys hiking, camping, cooking and reading. She shares her life with her husband Joe, an old, finally calm Irish Setter named Beau, a young and rowdy black lab named Jet, a pleasure horse named Gwendolyn (used only for Gwen's pleasure) and a cat named Howard who just can not understand why she needs other animals in her life. |
