Would you like to know more about who is caring for your companion?
Dr. Troy MartensPractice Owner/Veterinarian
Dr. Troy Martens is a 1993 Michigan State University Veterinary Medical School Graduate and he is also an Ann Arbor, Michigan native. He came to South Haven in hopes of buying a Veterinary Practice in 2008 and his dream led him here, where he purchased South Haven Animal Hospital from Dr. Salamun.
Our Dr. Martens has a very supportive wife, Christina, and a beautifully spirited daughter. He spends all his spare time with the two of them, playing golf and hiking/biking! Their family loves to travel when possible. Dr. Martens graduated from Ann Arbor Huron High School in 1987 where he was an honor student. He has been married to the lovely Christina for a note worthy 23 years now.! Dr. Martens enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine and is most fascinated with ultrasound diagnostics and surgical procedures. He says if he had not become a veterinarian, he would have been Superman ... or a pediatrician! Dr. Martens and our staff at South Haven Animal Hospital are most proud of being named the South Haven Tribune’s Best Veterinarian in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019! |

KelleyVeterinary Tech/Office Manager
Kelley joined our team in July 2017. She is a native of our area and returned home with her husband Chris after 14 years on the east side of the state. During her time on the east side of the state, she worked in veterinary medicine with one of Dr. Martens collage roommates for nearly 13 years. She will bring so much to our team, including incredible customer relations and the most tender touch. Kelley is a Gobles High School Graduate and now residing in Watervliet. When she is not working, Kelley enjoys spending her time working on fixing up around the old farmhouse her and Chris purchased when they moved back. She can also be found milling around the local beaches looking for those great fossil finds and beach glass! She may also have a camera (or two) strapped on her as well, as photography is another favorite hobby of hers.
You'll find Kelley's bright smiling face all over the South Haven Animal Hospital most days. We welcome you both back to the area Kelley and Chris!!! May your journey be long and prosperous. |
KathyFront Office/Vet Assistant
Kathy is another of our fantastic receptionists and vet assistants. She has been with us on and off since September of 2002. Her love of animals is quite apparent when speaking with her. She can be found assisting clients with scheduling and product education, as well as helping the doctors and technicians with the animals that are in the clinic.
In her spare time, Kathy enjoys showing her beautiful Whippets and spending time with her family, especially her sweet little grand babies! We know Kathy will be fully retiring soon but we are so very grateful for all her years here with us and will continue to enjoy every minute while it lasts! |
LyndseyFront Office/Vet Assistant
Lyndsey is one of our very talented receptionists and vet assistants here at South Haven Animal Hospital. She joined our team in June of 2010 after waitressing for nearly 10 years. Her customer service is on point and goes hand in hand with her other terrific virtues of compassion and dedication to animal rescue.
Lyndsey and her husband, Cal have helped rescue and re-home many litters of kittens. They receive help from their four legged family members, Sally the Beagle and Skeeter the Australian shepherd, along with their household cats Finn, Riley and Peaches, in raising these rescue kitten litters. Lyndsey was a South Haven High School 2004 graduate and has her Associates Degree in science from Lake Michigan College, as well as her Bachelors Degree from Sienna Heights University. Lyndsey is often assisting clients with scheduling appointments and purchasing products, but also lends a hand to the doctor to aid in animal treatments. She was a 4-H member in her early years and enjoys the outdoors very much these days. Lyndsey also enjoys traveling and hiking and observing wildlife. |
Miss Heidi Cat
Office Superstar
Heidi is our official greeter and front desk supervisor. She is certain that everyone comes to the hospital JUST to see her, give her some pets and tell her how beautiful she is!
Heidi has a broken back and is partially paralyzed in her rear legs. She is not painful but is actually very happy and affectionate.
She joined us in 2010 after she was attacked by a dog at her former home. Heidi was raising a litter of kittens at the time, so the whole family came to live here at the hospital. The kittens all found homes, but Heidi has decided that she would love to stay here with us.
