Our doctors A native of Chicago, Dr. Lawrence M. Fox received his DVM degree from the University of Illinois in 1968. At the time, he was the youngest veterinarian in the country. He returned to Chicagoland after serving as a Captain in the US Army Veterinary Corps in Washington state. In 1981, Dr. Fox became one of the first 37 veterinarians in the country to become board-certified in Canine and Feline Practice, as a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners. Dr. Fox has been actively involved in the community through service and school organizations. He was a founding director of the Animal Care League in Oak Park. He has been president of the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association. He appears regularly in the electronic media, and edited "Chicago Vets on Pets" for the Sun-Times and Pioneer Press and belongs to Mensa. Dr. Fox and his wife are the parents of 3 adult sons and share their home with numerous pets. When not working or babysitting their grandchildren, the Foxes enjoy movies and ballroom dancing. Dr. Kathleen Heneghan grew up on the Northwest Side of Chicago and currently lives in Norridge. She first came to us as a veterinary student extern in 1993. She is a 1994 graduate of the University of Wisconsin and joined us as a full time doctor in July of that year.  Over the years she has adopted 2 cats and one dog. It's an occupational hazard! She enjoys traditional Irish music, travel, medicine and surgery, is a great communicator (Dr. Fox-speak for "she talks a lot") and is delighted to be part of the team. She is the 2007 President of the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association, and also appears regularly on TV. Dr. Ericka Haynes is a native of Milwaukee and also received her DVM degree from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. She is outgoing and exuberant, and you'll love her when you meet her. She shares her life with two kitties and enjoys music, dancing and the culture of Chicago.
