Dr. Innis and his wife have a wonderfully large family and recently added a wirehaired pointing griffon named Raina to the team.
Dr. Susan Schoen has been practicing veterinary medicine since 1986 after receiving her DVM degree from Michigan State University. Dr. Schoen has two dogs, Nutmeg and Poppy, who love to keep her busy. She is an incredible artist and loves reading, traveling, and going on walks with her pups.

Marcia is the most tenured staff member at GRVC, having started here in 1993! She started working as a veterinary assistant right out of high school in 1971 and has loved working with exotics her whole life. Marcia and her husband have four birds, two guinea pigs, a leopard gecko, and a freshwater fish tank. She loves reading, drawing, miscellaneous artsy stuff, and absolutely LOVES X-Files!
Alex started volunteering for GRVC (at the time, Weisner, Innis, and Schoen) in 2010. He was pre-vet and a veterinary assistant until 2017 when he took his current role. Alex has been growing and maintaining bonsai trees since 2008 and will talk about the subject to anyone willing to listen. He likes spending time with his family, cooking, riding bikes, working on his car, and listening to music. Alex and his family have three cats, Kitty, Cookie, and Nigel, and a dog, Eunice the Destroyer, Attorney at Law.
Alex is also a stickler for proper parking and he loves zip-ties.
Mary Kay blessed us with her presence in 2020 and has become part of the family in a few short years. She enjoys camping and fishing.

Ashley is originally from West Michigan, but lived in the Pacific Northwest for seven years. She loves seeing live music, traveling, kayaking, hiking, and rock hunting. She recently started wheel-throwing at a local pottery studio and it has quickly become a new-found passion. Ashley has been working in the veterinary field since 2012. She enjoys working in reception and being one of the first faces to greet our clients and their fur babies!
