    • Dr. Sarah Smith

      Dr. Sarah Smith grew up in the Chicago suburbs and studied her undergraduate work at Purdue University. She graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine and then moved to Edwardsville.

Previously, she taught Kindergarten and Pre-K for many years before her love of animals slowly overpowered her love for teaching, but not for learning, however. She aspires to learn more about VetMed and its intricacies, while being an amazing receptionist. Not only does she love animals, but she also loves specializing in client communication and care.
       
      In her free time, Erica enjoys spending quality time with her supportive husband, her two wonderful children, and of course all of their fur babies.

    • Super Samson

      Samson is Dr. Smith's best friend forever (BFF). Samson's favorite thing to do is follow Dr. Smith, his eyes light up and his tail goes crazy when he hears her voice!

    • Abby Grant

      Hello my name is Abby! I have almost three years of veterinary experience and graduated from Midwest Institute in November of 2018. Since I was little I knew I wanted to help animals and I couldn’t be happier to be a veterinary nurse here at Ark Animal Hospital. I am very eager to learn new things and excited to find more favorite parts of the job. I love to meet new pets and get to know each of their personalities. In my free time, I like to relax at home with my family and my sweet rescue Daisy. 

    Testimonials

    Read What Our Clients Say

    Our dog was treated at your clinic last year and I have been intending to send you a testimonial for your use, should you choose to do so... As an M.D., it was easy to notice that Dr. Smith has the rare combination of excellent bedside manner as well as being extremely knowledgeable in her field. Dr. Smith and her staff realized we were extremely concerned about our pet and went out of their way to accommodate us in their schedule.
