MEET THE TEAM

Dr. Alicia Marquart
Managing Veterinarian

Dr. Alicia decided she was going to be a veterinarian at 5 years of age and started toward this goal at the age of 16. This is where she got her first job at a veterinary clinic and worked every position until getting into Veterinary School at Mizzou. Dr. Alicia graduated in 2014 and started her career in Chicago, IL. She made her way back to her hometown in 2018. Dr. Alicia has a special interest in fear-free techniques and views client education along with the comfort of her patient as a top priority. Other interests include nutrition, neurology, and surgery. Dr. Alicia likes to spend her free time with her children, husband and dog, Layla. They enjoy spending time outdoors with sport activities, hiking, biking, and occasional rock climbing. Dr. Alicia also loves to read when she finds time. Her favorite foods are frozen yogurt and jalapeno chips and she is terrified of heights!

Her interests include preventative medicine, surgery, behavior, and exotics medicine. Outside of work, Dr. Fahnestock enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and gardening, but also loves to relax at home with her husband, 4-year old son, two cats and one dog.
