Get to Know Escanaba, MI’s Trusted Animal Clinic

Dr. Robinette has been practicing veterinary medicine since 2004. She spent five years working as a general practice veterinarian. She took some time away from general practice to enroll in a one-year rotating internship with Michigan Veterinary Specialists, which further developed her veterinary skills. For two years following, she remained on staff as an emergency doctor and helped to train the new interns.

After being with Michigan Veterinary Specialists for three years, she joined Fox Valley Animal Referral Center as an Emergency/Critical Care Doctor. She worked for them for about 2 1/2 years. During this time, her family lived bistate with a home in Escanaba, MI, and an apartment in Appleton, MI. When the opportunity to come back to Escanaba Veterinary Clinic presented itself, Dr. Robinette never hesitated to bring her career back home.

The time away from Escanaba Veterinary Clinic has allowed Dr. Robinette to perform a quality of medicine most general practices simply don’t offer. She is excited to bring and use the new skill base she has developed. She takes great pride in her opportunity to be a small business owner in the community she has always called her home.

Veterinary medicine is only part of Dr. Robinette’s life. She is married to a wonderful husband, Brian Robinette. She has two beautiful, two-legged children, Pierce and Brooklyn, who take up much of her spare time. They are accompanied by four, four-legged children: two French bulldogs, Lola and Hazel, and two cats, Dexter and Josie. In the limited spare time she finds, she enjoys reading, hiking, kayaking, camping, and, of course, traveling around the US and world.

Dr. Laur has been married since 2005, and her husband Dave Laur is the Director of Student Life at Bay de Noc Community College. They have two sons, Gavin and Emery, who keep their lives active and happy. They also have two cats, Milo and Sasha.

In her spare time… wait, what is that? Dr. Laur enjoys spending time outdoors, having quality time with family and friends, playing cards and board games, going to fun 80’s rock concerts, and hopes to get back into playing volleyball on a regular basis.
