Dr. Ken Lambrecht

Founding Owner/Medical Director

Dr. Ken Lambrecht is the founding owner and Medical Director of West Towne Veterinary Center. Dr. Ken graduated from the University of Missouri in 1981 and has been in clinical practice for 32 years. Dr. Ken’s practice interests are feline preventive medicine, preventive and therapeutic nutrition, and supplements and advanced dental procedures (periodontitis and oral surgery). He has learned much over the years from his personal pets including Travis a yellow lab who was his #1 buddy from 1981 to 1995 and Buck an orange tabby who lived for 22 years! Dr. Ken is an avid cross-country skier, bicyclist and water sports lover. When he isn’t seeing clients or at a veterinary conference he is probably racing stand up paddle boards, or traveling, often camping on the great lakes. His four cats (Lance, Bug, Annie & Georgie) share his cabin on Lake Mendota. Bug, the clinic’s namesake (bug ventures) often comes to the clinic with Dr. Ken and even has her own Facebook page.

Dr. Tina Karls

Veterinarian

Dr. Tina Karls is a 2002 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. After graduation, she completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at a private referral practice in Denver, Colorado. Dr. Karls then joined a small animal practice in Colorado for several years before returning to Wisconsin and joining WTVC in 2007. She enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, but especially likes dentistry, wellness care, and internal medicine. In her free time, Dr. Karls enjoys spending time in the company of her husband, her two daughters, and two dogs.

Office Manager

Cheyene

Office Manager

Cheyene joined the WTVC team in late October 2019, but she has worked in the pet industry all her life. It all started with her Grandmother’s pet store. Cheyene started working weekends and after school until she graduated to managing the store’s daily operations. From that she realized how valuable understanding your pet’s nutritional needs could be in providing answers to everyday challenges they may encounter. She utilized this knowledge as well as the positive impact of using pheromones, like Feliway, when fostering “special needs” cats for Columbia County Humane Society. It only made sense that when she decided to move to Madison and met Dr. Ken that the “stars aligned” and she joined the team!

Accounting

Robin

Bookkeeper

Robin is a mom of 4 and also has many pets. She and her husband care for two dogs, six cats, two chinchillas, and one guinea pigs in addition to homeschooling 3 of their four children. The oldest is now a Marine. In her own words “I have worked at many vet clinics over the last 30 years, including for Dr. Lambrecht from 1999-2001. My family has returned to the Madison area in the previous year and a half, and I am ready to work again and was delighted to be able to find a position open at West Towne Veterinary Center.

I am looking forward to greeting both clients that I have known from the past and new ones that I have yet to meet!”
