Veterinarians
Dr. Lauren E. Lane
VMD
Diplomate, ABVP
Canine/Feline Practice
Hi, I am Dr. Lauren Lane. I grew up in Kennett Square, PA where my love of horses developed into a successful show jumping career and where my love of animals and their care took root.
I went to undergrad at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, ME. I received my veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine. I then attended Michigan State University in a one year, small animal rotating internship.
I am one of 5 veterinarians statewide who is boarded in the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in the Canine/Feline Specialty. I am required to recertify every ten years. My interests are in internal medicine, oncology and emergency and critical care. I love the diagnostic challenges that I face every day.
My husband and I share our home with two golden retrievers, (the most awesome breed ever) and I have started doing agility with them. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym, running the dogs, cycling and spending time with my family.
Dr. Ronald J. Lane
VMD, MS, MBA
Hello, I am Dr. Ron Lane. I was born and raised in central/western PA where my experiences in 4-H and on my grandparents' small farm developed into my desire to become a veterinarian. I received my B.S. in Animal Science from Penn State and my M.S. from Utah State in Animal Science.
Following a few years teaching in western Kansas and a couple years of personal improvement, I was accepted to and ultimately graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine. After completing a large animal surgery and medicine internship, I earned an M.B.A., both at Kansas State University. My interests are in general surgery and medicine and dentistry.
Officer Manager
Kristen
Office Manager
Hi, my name is Kristen. I have been with White Oaks Veterinary Hospital since 1997. As Office Manager, I believe I get the best of both worlds! I love working in the office and business atmosphere, but I have also had the opportunity to learn so much about veterinary medicine. Over the years, I have had the privilege of developing genuine relationships with our clients and often lifelong connections with their pets. I truly love coming to work every day. In my free time I enjoy spending time at the beach with my husband and our two young adult children. We share our home with two cats, Nigel and O.C.
