Dr. Lisa Knott earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University in 2006. Growing up, she always loved science, nature, and animals, as well as problem-solving and “fixing things.” It was a natural progression to choose a career that included everything she loved! In her roles at the hospital, she truly loves being there for people during both the good and the not-so-good parts of being a pet parent. It’s an emotional roller coaster, but at the end of the day, it’s rewarding to know she’s made a difference in someone’s life.

Dr. Knott is married to her husband, Dr. Alan Knott, and together they have two children, as well as Brutus, a Chihuahua mix. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, jogging, and gardening. She is especially proud of raising two confident, compassionate, and loving little people! In addition, she loves summer, the beach, and being warm (pretty much anything not involving winter in upstate New York!).
