Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital - Small Animal

Timothy John

DVM - Small Animal General Practice

It was while working for his family veterinarian in the San Francisco Bay area that Dr. John decided to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. He attended Oregon State University, receiving his veterinary degree in 1990, and joined Pilchuck as a small animal practitioner the same year. Dr. John’s special interests are internal medicine and cancer therapy. He is known for his easygoing nature and good humor. Though serious about medicine, Dr. John is a prankster at heart, and not above providing well-timed comic relief for his staff. His time away from the hospital is spent with his wife, two children, and the animals that make up their “farmette” - three horses, three dogs, two cats, and eight chickens. He also enjoys camping and fishing.

Lisa Krauter

DVM - Small Animal General Practice

Dr. Krauter’s love for veterinary medicine began when she started working for a small-animal veterinarian in her hometown at the age of 15. She graduated from the University of Illinois, College of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 and then completed an internship and residency in equine surgery at Kansas State University. She became board-certified in surgery and joined PVH in 1992, where she spent the majority of her career as an equine sports medicine/lameness veterinarian and surgeon. When the physical demands of working with horses began to take their toll, she decided to go back to her roots, re-train, and finish her career in small-animal medicine. Dr Krauter's professional interests include general practice, long-term disease management, and geriatric pet care. In her free time, she volunteers with a greyhound rescue organization and the Snohomish Food Bank, overseeing the pet food department. She enjoys taking long-walks with her husband and two rescued greyhounds, gardening, and being active in her church.
