Our Veterinary Team

Gail has been the practice manager since she and Dr. Anderson built the practice in 1985. They have been married for over 40 years and have four adult children and seven grandchildren. She attended IUSB and Memorial Hospital School of Nursing. Her love for animals really sparked when she met Dr. Anderson and has continued to grow since. She really enjoys helping clients with their questions and helping them make the best decisions for their pets’ health. Her favorite part of working at the practice is being able to work with her family and establishing relationships with clients. In her free time, she loves watching her grandkids. She also enjoys cooking, redecorating, and shopping with her daughters. She has two dogs, Rugby, whose favorite thing to do is collect rocks out of the lake, and Bella, whose favorite thing to do is snuggle on the couch at night with Dr. Anderson.

Kelly started working at MACC in 2016. She has been married for 21 years and has three children. She graduated from Valparaiso University with a Bachelor’s in Social Work. She has always had a cat in her life and thinks animals have a special way of bringing people out of their shells. She really enjoys seeing the interaction between owners and their pets. In her spare time, she greatly enjoys cooking, traveling, and refinishing furniture. She currently has six cats and two guinea pigs. Their names are Audrey, Kix, Rocket, Luna, Trixie, and Juliette.

Malinda has been working at MACC since 1990 and graduated from Mishawaka High School. She has been married for 33 years and has three kids and one granddaughter. Growing up she had a family dog and cared for several stray cats in her neighborhood. Being able to establish positive relationships and gain the trust of fearful animals is her favorite part of working at MACC. She loves being able to make a positive impact on animal visits and enjoys experiencing the gratitude a client expresses from a successful treatment with their pet. In her free time, she enjoys riding her bike, fishing, solving word puzzles, and spoiling her granddaughter. She has three dogs, Trinity, Ariah, and Gunner, who love annoying the squirrels in her backyard. She also has a cat named Nugget who gets along very well with her dogs.

Gina has been working at MACC since 1994 and is a graduate of Mishawaka High School. She has been married for 25 years and has five children, four boys and one girl. She has always had a passion for helping animals since her family saved and cared for many stray cats when she was young. Her favorite part of her job is working as a team helping all of our furry friends live their best, healthiest lives and providing love and comfort to all of the patients. You can always find her sitting in a run with an animal after surgery, snuggling and petting them. In her free time, she really enjoys spending time with her family, reading, watching movies, and watching her favorite football team, The Chicago Bears. She has 2 dogs, Payton, whose favorite thing to do is play tug-of-war, and Muffin, who loves to snuggle and sleep all day. She also has many kitties that she’s rescued ranging from 1-11 years old.

Stanley was brought to us 13 years ago on a cold blistering winter afternoon. He was a young fella found near a dumpster, just looking for some scraps and a nice warm place to settle down. Growing up was a bit rough for him, but with the help of his food inspection skills, he put on a couple of pounds in no time. Today, he lives a comfortable lifestyle of napping, eating treats, greeting clients, and keeping the mice away. He loves to start the day with a fast sprint down the hallway, welcoming everyone as they come in to work for the day and then recovering with a morning nap in his cat bed. He enjoys teasing dogs when they come in, loving on kittens that visit us, and begging for catnip. When Stanley is not busy with his daily schedule, he likes to play catch, ignore clients when they call after him, and enjoy some food samples that are at his disposal. His favorite foods include chicken nuggets, chicken, turkey, and ham.

Chowder was brought to us about 3 years ago as a lost kitten. Chowder has grown up to be a very loving and affectionate boy, who loves to play and nap with Stanley. Today he lives a very comfortable lifestyle in the clinic, where he has numerous places to nap, always a free hot meal at a moment’s notice, and plenty of toys to keep his small cat brain occupied. Unlike Stanley, Chowder does not have many responsibilities around the clinic. He is pretty much a free-loader and just does what he pleases. He goes crazy for cat nip, especially rolling around in it, loves watching shiny spots on the walls, and is always looking for trouble. When he is not occupied with his favorite hobbies, he is seeking attention from his co-workers where he will give an occasional love bite and then will retreat for the afternoon to take a nice warm cat nap in a cupboard of blankets.
