Practice manager - Lisa Pierce

Lisa and Dr. Pierce were married in 1995 in Heber Springs and she worked as the receptionist for several years before finally agreeing to take on the duties of the practice-manager.  She still fills in as receptionist, assistant, kennel worker and anything else that needs to be done but no one else will do it.  Lisa also plays guitar and sings gospel music and performs at churches and other functions in      the area.  Lisa is also a speaker in the Emmaus Community and is one of the music directors for the local chapter of the community.  In her spare time (at least, when she used to have spare time), Lisa enjoys horseback riding and hiking.














Receptionist - Heidi Garner

Heidi was a manager at a restaurant before she decided to get into the pet-health field.  She worked for awhile as a veterinary assistant before becoming the receptionist here at the clinic.  She is shouldered with the responsibility of keeping us straight and on schedule ( a task she has told us she has decided is not possible!)  Heidi has three children an loves canoeing and fishing.
