We are extremely excited here at NEWC to welcome the newest member of our team, Dr. Lisa Trout. An exceptional veterinarian who graduated from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in May of 2013, Dr. Trout will be joining Dr. Mertz and Dr. Adamski in our Odd Pet Vet service, which will now offer appointments 7 days a week.

Dr. Trout is originally from Pennsylvania, and earned her BS in Small Animal Science from Delaware Valley College. She has a very diverse background, having worked in both farm animal medicine and small animal emergency and intensive care. Additionally, she has already volunteered her time with us at the Center learning from Dr. Mertz and Dr. Adamski about exotic pet medicine and wildlife medical care. We have gotten to know her both as a veterinarian and as a person over the last few months she has spent time with us, and we are truly glad she chose to accept the position as one of our official veterinarians.

In her free time, Dr. Trout will kick back with a good book, head out for a hike, or bake (especially Pennsylvania Dutch recipes).
