Her new children’s book, ‘Good bye’s not the end‘, ‘A Story of Hope for Kids Grieving their Pets‘ will be published this spring available on Amazon.
Dr. Alicia Kendall, DVM
Dr. Kendall began her journey at the University of Puerto Rico earning a bachelor’s degree in veterinary technology. Following the completion of her undergraduate studies, she moved to the United States in 2003, to pursue a DVM, attending Michigan State University and graduating in 2007. One of the most enjoyable aspects of veterinary medicine is having the ability to create a relationship, not only with her patients, but with our clients. She finds it fulfilling to be able to interact with the patients, as puppies or kittens, as they grow into adulthood. Veterinary medicine is not always easy; thus she has always found satisfaction in being able to help even when the cases are extremely challenging.
Dr. Kendall particularly enjoys internal medicine, ultrasonography and dentistry. Having grown up in Puerto Rico, Dr. Kendall is also fluent in Spanish. In her time away from the office, she also enjoys her home life with her husband, daughter and three dogs, Pancakes, Potato and Chickpea. Dr. Kendall loves to spend time outdoors on the water with her family and friends, loves to read, and does a lot of arts and crafts (aka. Lots of glittery things with her daughter!).
Dr. Sara Prygoski, DVM
Dr. Prygoski is originally from Grand Blanc, Michigan and has enjoyed living in west Michigan since 2018. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan. After graduation, she worked in an aquatic research lab which included lab work in Ann Arbor and field work in arctic Alaska. She then entered Michigan State University and graduated with honors with her DVM degree in 2018. Her favorite areas of medicine are soft tissue surgery, client education and feline medicine. In her spare time, Dr. Prygoski enjoys spending time with her family including her husband, two young children, two dogs and four cats (a crazy, happy zoo!).
