Dr. Kumar has been practicing for over 15 years.  In India he grew up on a farm
    with his family which was what lead him to his career.  He graduated from the
    College of Veterinary Medicine in Punjab, India.  Upon arriving in the United States he
    completed his studies at the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in
    Ames, Iowa.  After finishing his studies in Iowa, he worked as an associate in
    veterinary clinics in Wisconsin and Indiana for over 6 years.  In Sept. 2003 he opened
    the Des Plaines Family Pet Clinic.  He is a member of the AVMA as well as the ISVMA.  
    His favorite procedures include complex soft tissue surgeries where he is able to utilize
    his skill with the laser scalpel, but he gets the most satisfaction from the full and
    complete recovery of his patients.

    Dara is our furry, four legged office manager! He is our ambassador of good will
    and the leader of our welcoming party.  All compliments and complaints may be
    directed to him!







    Stacy has been working at the clinic for over three years. She is currently a student
    of UIC in pursuit of a teaching degree and currently works with underprivileged
    children to help supplement their schooling.  In her free time she like working out,
    spending time with her sorority sisters or cuddling with her dog Fergie.





    Tracey is currently a college student who has been a  part of the Des Plaines Family
    Pet Clinic for over a year and is a certified animal nutritional counselor.  She is
    studying psychology and although she loves all animals, she is a sucker for a Beagle!
    When she isn't at the clinic Tracey is spending time with her own Beagles, Touchdown
    and Adrenalyn.






    Jeannie is a graduate of Iowa State University with a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in
    Scientific Illustration.  She is currently enrolled in the AVMA accredited distance
    learning program through Penn Foster College to earn her Associates in Veterinary

Danielle is our on-site groomer.  She has over 9 years experience grooming just about
any animal you have to offer!  No job is too big or too small be it cat or dog. If you are
feeling truly adventurous, she will be happy to discuss trying a new hair color on Trixie!  
When she is not grooming she is out visiting hospitals and schools with her therapy dogs
or she might be involved in agility competitions.  If you'd like to know more about these
activities she'll be happy to fill you in!
