Our Doctors Woodinville Veterinary Hospital was opened in 1975 by Drs. Joe Bergevin and Frank Merrit, and was the first veterinary clinic in Woodinville. Dr. Anita Lorenzen acquired the clinic in the early 1980’s, and moved it to its current location in 1987. In 1997, Dr. Dan Kennedy moved up from an associate at the clinic to become the owner, and has continued to serve the people and pets of Woodinville for over 20 years. In September of 2007, Dr. Adrienne Hale purchased WVH from Dr. Kennedy, who has mostly retired but still sees patients on Fridays. In 2009 Dr. Laura Robertson joined the practice as a full time associate. Dr. Hale and Dr. Robertson are looking forward to developing new programs and expanded services in the future. Dr. Hale grew up in southern California, and acquired her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from the University of California, Davis, in 2004. Her areas of veterinary interest are senior care, surgery, and dentistry. She has five cats, three dogs, and two horses. In her spare time she enjoys outdoor activities such as camping, skiing, and backpacking. Dr. Hale also enjoys country dancing, and helps teach two-step lessons once a week. She competes in dressage and trail rides with her horses. Dr. Laura Robertson earned her DVM degree in 2009 from Washington State University, where she graduated as the number one student in her class. Her areas of interest are internal medicine, surgery, and clinical pathology (interpretation of laboratory findings.) In her spare time, Dr. Robertson enjoys hiking, camping, and skiing. She has also been training and running half marathons over the past three years. Dr. Kennedy earned his degree from Washington State University in 1987. His areas of expertise are surgery, dentistry, and endoscopy. He and his wife have two dogs and a cat (who thinks he is a dog). In his spare time he enjoys photography, bee-keeping, discovering local out-of-the-way restaurants, and has a small microbrewery.
