Meet Our Veterinary Team
Meet the Veterinarian and Team at Ivy Veterinary Care. We are delighted to provide high quality veterinary care for your pets!
Dr. Andrew Lee
DVM/Sole Owner
Dr. Andrew Lee is a graduate of the University of Illinois-Champaign-Urbana, where he received his doctorate in veterinary medicine after earning his BS in Biochemistry from the University of Illinois-Chicago. As a Chicago-area native, he is happy to be helping pets live their best lives in his hometown. Dr. Lee is passionate about forming life-long relationships with clients through education, compassion, and trust. He loves to work with owners to be active participants in their pets’ healthcare.
He lives in the neighborhood with his wife, who is also a veterinarian, their son, and a full house of pets — including Sawyer (a schnauzer with a big personality), Scout (a sweet mixed-breed dog), Lego (a mischievous Siamese cat), and Jim (the house recluse).
In his free time, Dr. Lee likes relaxing with friends and family, exercising (but hates running), fancying a new whiskey, trying new cuisine, and starting a new home improvement project that will never get finished.
Rebecca
Practice Manager
Rebecca, a Chicago native, developed her love for animals while growing up with several working dogs whose careers were dedicated to helping people. She has experienced first-hand the unconditional love and devotion animals provide for us, inspiring her to break into the animal care industry. As a high school student, her first animal care position involved volunteering to clean bird poop out of cages at a local clinic. Now that’s dedication!
After gaining more experience caring for animals, Rebecca obtained a BS in Biological Sciences from Roosevelt University and she is dedicated to staying on a path of continuous learning and growth. She has worked in the veterinary industry for ten years as both a veterinary technician and an administrator. Despite her experience in emergency and shelter medicine, she is devoted to private small animal practice where she can develop a supportive and collaborative relationship with each pet parent and team member. She values gold-standard medical care as well as attending to each patient with kindness and compassion.
When she’s not at work, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and introverted rescue dog, Charlie. She enjoys reading outside, regardless of the crazy Chicago weather, and she loves to try new restaurants and bars around the city. Any place that allows dogs gets 5 stars!
