Advanced cancer care to help your pet live a longer and better life.
We understand that seeing your pet experience unusual symptoms or act out of the ordinary can be stressful – especially if you don’t know what’s wrong. Fortunately, our veterinary oncology team is made up of experts in diagnosing and treating cancer, and we’re here to help.
Our commitment is not just to treat illnesses; it’s to enhance the well-being of your pet and be with you every step of the way.
If your pet has cancer, you’ll have an entire oncology team helping to improve your pet’s quality of life so you can get back to what matters most – spending precious moments together.
Your pet will receive unparalleled medical care during their time at the hospital (and they’ll be spoiled with love and attention, too).
Your pet can’t tell us what’s wrong, so we use sophisticated diagnostics and imaging tools to uncover the source of the problem.
Just as no two patients are the same, neither are their treatment plans. Our oncology team has experience with a range of advanced procedures and minimally invasive options to get your pet on the path to wellness, including:
Experience makes all the difference.
Our oncology team is made up of veterinarians, vet technicians and assistants, and support staff with rigorous training and experience in specialty medicine. The team works hand in hand to provide the comprehensive, compassionate care your pet needs and deserves. Because we’re a multidisciplinary hospital, the team can consult the expertise of other specialty departments, too.
Dr. Jordan Ayers is passionate about all things oncology and really enjoys the bonds she forms with clients and patients. She has participated in research on mammary tumors, osteosarcoma, melanoma, gastrointestinal tumors and lymphoma.
Dr. Ayers and her family love all water sports and help run a small water conservation non-profit. She has a mini cattle dog mix who enjoys snuggles and chasing lizards in the yard.
Dr. Lauren Fout is excited about the new developments in veterinary radiation therapy to include stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) protocols, both of which are types of nonsurgical radiation therapy that can deliver precisely targeted radiation in fewer high-dose treatments than traditional therapy. She also has an interest in the use of both traditional western medicine and support therapy with integrated/nontraditional medicine for overall patient well-being.
Dr. Fout loves traveling internationally as well as exploring locally. Other interests include reading and baking. She has two rescue dogs, Sprockey and Muppet.
Dr. Rothman Reyes knew he wanted to be a veterinarian from a young age and decided to focus on oncology after an influential externship during veterinary school. According to Dr. Reyes, a gratifying part of his job is advocating for patients and helping owners choose a treatment option that they’re comfortable with and prioritizes their pet’s quality of life.
Northern Michigan is Dr. Reyes’ happy place. He enjoys going on road trips – both for hiking and exploring – with his pets, Aimée and Cyfri. He loves cooking and baking all types of different foods from French pastries to Korean kimchi. Dr. Reyes also enjoys playing tennis and going on runs around his neighborhood.
After nine years as an assistant professor at the University of Illinois, Dr. Jackie Wypij remains dedicated to teaching others and is often invited to speak at national veterinary conferences. She also continues to pursue additional training for herself and has earned certificates in grief counseling, online teaching and clinical and translational research methods. Dr. Wypij’s particular clinical interests include canine lymphoma and mast cell tumors; feline cancer of all types, especially oral; and palliative and hospice care.
Dr. Wypij enjoys dancing the Argentine tango, hiking, camping or chasing after her two children.
