Dr. Carrie Tokar
DVM/Medical Director
I decided I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was five years old. That dream came true when I graduated from Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1998. I spent my first 13 1/2 years in small animal emergency and critical care. For the last 10 years, I have worked as a small animal general practitioner. I live in Milford with my husband, Mike, and my daughters, Shayla and Brielle. I have two Dobermans, two cats, and one horse. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, golfing, cooking, and reading in my free time. I also love supporting our wonderful community.
Dr. Lexie McAnelly
Dr. Lexie McAnelly was born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan. With a lifelong dream of being a veterinarian, she attended Central Michigan University and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Sciences. She moved to Indiana to pursue her DVM at Purdue University.
Dr. McAnelly joined VCS after graduating in 2022 and is interested in primary care, surgery, and ophthalmology. She especially enjoys connecting and collaborating with clients to care for their pets from puppy to senior life stages. Dr. McAnelly has two pets of her own! Alice is a black lab who was her companion throughout vet school. She is an alumnus of the Purdue University Canine Educator Program. She also has adopted a gray tabby cat named Maki, who’s as talkative as she is cute. In her free time, Dr. McAnelly enjoys traveling, reading, running, and spending time with her 2- and 4-legged family.
Dr. Jacqueline J. Mair
DVM, MBA, DACVS
My veterinary education was spent at Michigan State University in 1999. I completed an internal medicine internship and surgery residency at the Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine in Massachusetts.
Upon completing my residency in July 2003, I accepted a full-time surgery position at VCA Northwood Hospital in Indiana. I became a diplomate of the American college of veterinary surgeons in 2005. In August 2008, I moved back to Michigan, began my Mobile Surgery Service, and worked at Veterinary Care Services in Milford, MI.
Before veterinary school, I attended Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI, where I obtained a degree in finance and economics. Before that, I completed my Master of Business Administration. I was employed by the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies from 1989 through 1995.
Dr. Jon-Paul Prudente
DVM
Dr. Prudente was born in Philadelphia but moved to Farmington Hills when he was 12. He completed his Bachelors at the University of Michigan and his Master’s degree at Oakland University before attending Ontario Veterinary College for his DVM.
Dr. Prudente joined VCS in 2024 and is interested in dentistry, wound care, and wellness. Dr. Prudente is excited to bring exotics practice back to VCS and looks forward to meeting whatever furry or scaly friends you have to offer. Dr. Prudente shares his home in Milford with his wife (a food animal veterinarian), their two young children, two fluffy cats and an albino corn snake.
Kristin Hart
RDMS, RVT, RTR
Kristin Hart, the owner of Advanced Veterinary Ultrasound, LLC (mobile ultrasound service), is a multi-boarded ultrasonographer. She graduated from Henry Ford Hospital and cross-trained in veterinary ultrasound by board-certified veterinary radiologists and specialists over 22 years ago. In addition to 8 years of dedicated ultrasound training, Kristin functioned in hospital administrative and teaching positions.
Kristin’s unique set of credentials, paired with over 25 years of Level IV ultrasound, elevates the standard of care we deliver in animal medicine today, giving her an edge in the field. Human doctors rely on on-boarded ultrasonographers to perform their diagnostic studies. Pets are family members, and we should give them the optimal care you expect for yourself and your family. With state-of-the-art imaging tools, Kristin’s precision has been proven in countless cases with a high clinical and surgical correlation. Her studies have been AAHA-approved through Veterinary Care Services, Milford.

Brittney

Brittney is a veterinary nurse that has been with VCS for a year and a half now. She was born and raised in Tennessee and moved to Michigan in 2020. Brittney has been working with animals since she started volunteering at therapeutic riding facilities and other animal care facilities at the age of 12. She is currently a college student and hopes to specialize in anesthesia and analgesia, as surgery and anesthesia are her passion and what she looks forward to the most at work. She also holds a special interest in neurology. Brittney has three pets of her own: Clyde, a mischievous but handsome German shorthaired pointer; Bonnie, a sassy but beautiful ragdoll mix; and Reuben, a colorful and laid-back leopard gecko.
Carley
Carley is a Veterinary Technician and has worked at VCS since 2015. She is the resident IT and computer guru for all of the equipment here! She has probably talked to you when you need your pet’s prescription refilled. Carley also runs the clinic’s social media accounts; remember she can feature your pets! She grew up on a ranch raising Scottish Belted Galloways and Sheep. Once she aged out of showing animals through 4-H she became a leader for her local club. She lives in Fowlerville with her Husband, Archie the Cavalier and Fern the Golden Retriever. She has 1 deaf cat and 3 Tuxedo cats that have found their way to VCS over the years.

Hayley’s creative outlet is bottomless! She runs her own Etsy, Coulters Collars, and sells Dog collars. She lives with her family, her 2 ferrets and 6 cats.
Jamie
Veterinary Technician
My name is Jamie Cohen. I have been a veterinary nurse here at Veterinary Care Services since 1997. I started working in the veterinary field while still in high school and never left. My favorite part of this job, sharing knowledge and providing relief, reassurance, comfort, and compassion to both clients and patients alike. I reside in Canton with my husband, two amazing kids that I can’t get enough of, and our personal zoo. Piggy, our beloved, but a very messy guinea pig. Hazel, is the perfect, petite tuxedo cat. Agnes, a very bossy, bottle-fed as a kitten and completely unappreciative tabby cat. And, drum roll please, Henry, the unicorn Beagle. He never leaves my side, won’t run away, never barks, and insists on being an “only dog,” as his neediness knows no bounds, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Renae
Veterinary Technician
Renae is a veterinary technician who has a strong passion for veterinary medicine and a special interest in emergency cases. She has worked at VCS for over 10 years and loves working with dogs. Her favorite breeds are bully breeds, especially pit bulls.
Renae is also an award-winning and published equine photographer. When Renae is not at work, you can find her with her family, dogs, cats, horses, and chickens.
Sharolyn

Sharolyn has been an LVT since 2013. Animals have always been a large part of her life, she has worked with raptors, owned and operated a wildlife rehabilitation center, and volunteered with a traveling zoo.

She is also a professional artist specializing in pet portraits which takes up her free time!
Vanessa
Veterinary Assistant
Vanessa is a Veterinary Assistant who joined VCS in January 2022. Her favorite part about working here is helping our anxious patients feel more at home and showing kindness and compassion to pets and owners alike. She moved to Michigan in 2013 and is fluent in German and Spanish. Her first exposure to veterinary medicine was in Thailand, where she assisted in a high-volume Spay and Neuter clinic and exotic animal rehabilitation. After that, she developed a passion for helping injured animals of every species. Vanessa currently lives with her 14-year-old Toy Poodle, Pololo, who traveled with her to the US from Colombia.
