Dr. Lynette Greenwood has been involved with animals all her life. Since she was a young child, she was passionate about horses. Her parents knew, from the moment she crawled to her brother’s toy rocking horse and fell asleep in the saddle, that she would be involved with equines some day. At age 11, her parents bought Lynette her first mare, which she later trained and competed with in hunter-jumper events, and eventually she made it to the thoroughbred racetrack. There, she learned firsthand how to care for equine aches and pains. The books of James Herriot sealed her fate as the future Dr. Greenwood set off to become a veterinarian. While being the youngest in her class, she graduated with Cum Laude honors from The Ohio State University in 1986, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree and Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. She moved to Chino, California, where she completed an internship in equine surgery. She worked at a mixed large and small animal practice in Half Moon Bay, treating animals from small sea lions to large bison that starred in “Dances with Wolves”. Her husband’s physics career brought her back to the Midwest where she began to specialize in small animal emergency medicine. In 1992, she became partner at Emergency Pet Care Center, which she bought in 1998 and converted into Emergency Veterinary Services. Her willingness to see that every patient is cared for and every client is educated brings joy to her staff and colleagues. Dr. Greenwood is an advocate for quality patient care and comfort. She enjoys educating our clients and giving them options to best care for their pet. When she’s not saving lives, Dr. Greenwood shares her life with her husband, two beautifully handsome sons, her one-of-a-kind black lab Beau, and a “small herd” of retired race horses.
