Riverside Cat Hospital was opened by Dr. Kerry Lewis in 2006. She is a 1999 graduate of Michigan State University.  Following graduation, she spent 7 years working in both feline and emergency medicine until deciding to open her own practice.  

Dr. Lewis' practice philosophy is to consider each patient as an individual. When making medical decisions, she will take into account each patient's age and lifestyle, medical condition, the owner's emotional and financial considerations, along with the expectations for outcome.  She is a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP), and follows AAFP guidelines on conservative use of vaccines, senior care, and behavior, among others.

Dr. Lewis and her husband live in East Lansing with their two cats, Harvey and Huckleberry. They have 3 adult children.  In their free time, they enjoy traveling, camping, and classic movies.
