Trainers
Cyndi Gunzer trains duck and bird dogs at a safe, 110-acre facility far from roads, with ponds, fields, and woods. She’s been working with hunting dogs since 2003, and formerly, she trained field trial competition dogs. Now she offers basic hunting training for pups and pre-season tune-ups for more experienced dogs. She also works with pets in her own home, on a handpicked basis. Over the course of a few weeks, these in-house trainees learn obedience, leash walking, and inside manners.They may also learn to control undesirable behaviors, such as digging and barking.
Behaviorists
We partner with board-certified behaviorist, Kenneth Martin, DVM, to help you and your pets get a grip on their emotional experiences and redirect problem behaviors. Dr. Martin is an avid dog trainer and one of only 72 veterinarians in the world to be named a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists. He works with both dogs and cats, specializing in psychopharmacology and alternative medicine, cognitive issues, learning, and pet aggression.
Opthalmologists
Did you know that cats and dogs get glaucoma and other eye diseases? We work with Danielle Paglia, DVM, to find the right diagnosis and treatment, so that your pets keep their vision eagle-sharp. Dr. Paglia graduated from Mississippi State University School of Veterinary Medicine and did a rotating small animal medicine and surgery internship, before completing an ocular pathology fellowship at the University of Wisconsin. Her ophthalmology residency was completed at University of California Davis. What this means is, she went to school…and school…and more school! So she’s the best of the best.
Cardiologists
The most loving thing you can do for your fuzzy buddy is to make sure their ticker is strong and true. Robyn Roberts, RDMS (Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer), helps us understand—through getting the clearest picture possible—what’s going on with our cardio patients. Heart health is important, no matter your species!
Caring for Cambodia
At Lakeway Vet Clinic, we offer a great dental deal—for some deserving kids and for your furry companion! We’ve joined forces with Caring for Cambodia, a grassroots organization headquartered in Austin, that provides education and basic healthcare for 6,700 children, from pre-K through 12th grade. Founder Jamie Amelio started the nonprofit 15 years ago, after vacationing in Cambodia and meeting a girl who asked her for $1 to pay school fees. Jamie visited the girl’s school, saw an overwhelming amount of need, came home and asked friends for help.
One of those friends was Lakeway’s own Dr. Rand Doyle, who became an enthusiastic supporter of Caring For Cambodia. Each February, Lakeway clients who bring in a new toothbrush and tube of toothpaste receive $60 off a pet cleaning. With your help, Lakeway collects over 9,000 toothbrushes for Caring for Cambodia each year. The nonprofit distributes about 25,000 toothbrushes annually, supplying students at their 21 schools, students’ families, and other community members.
Rescues
We believe that all creatures have value, but some creatures get a tougher break. That’s why we do our best to help those who help others. We work with multiple animal rescues to help stretch the dollars they spend on veterinary services.
Community
Lakeway Vet Clinic is a regular contributor to the Lake Travis Education Foundation. This grassroots nonprofit, founded by Lake Travis residents in 1985, has provided the Lake Travis Independent School District with over $3.75 million in program funding. We are also strong supporters and contributors to student organizations at Lake Travis High School.
We are proud to support the Lakeway Police Foundation and provide lifetime care for Orka, the first—and now retired— K-9 member of the Force.

Dr. Rand Doyle
&
King
I’m King, ruler of Lakeway Veterinary Clinic. My primary servant, Dr. Rand Doyle, is tasked with running the day-to-day, while I contemplate more important matters—such as where my food is kept and just how high I can climb.
I chose Dr. Doyle as general overseer due to his credentials and superior capabilities. He graduated Magna Cum Laude in Pre-Med from the University of South Carolina and earned his doctorate of veterinary medicine from Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine. He also received the R.D. Horne Award for Orthopedic Surgery. He also received the R.D. Horne Orthopedic Surgery Award.
Dr. Doyle lives at home with his wife Taylor, and their two children, Towns and Saylor Jude, and six dogs, who are far beneath me. But Dr. Doyle spends a lot of time here, both as my companion and as general overseer. While I am obviously most majestic, he is pretty supreme.

Dr. Heidi Moore
&
Norman
I’m Norman, an Australian Shepherd/Healer mix- the perfect dog for my mom. She works with dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigs, birds and rabbits. Oh boy! She is Dr. Heidi Moore, but please call her Dr. Heidi. She is super awesome! As well as making sure I am safe from any loud scary things in the world – don’t get me started about the Roomba – she plays soccer, runs and let’s me follow her everywhere. She is married to Jeff and we also live with Lola, a Beagle/Basset mix. Lola doesn’t need as much protection.
My mom grew up in Midland, and went to college at Stephen F. Austin State University. There she played soccer and studied chemistry. She went to the West Indies to study veterinary medicine at St. George’s University. She finished up at Louisiana State University before returning to Texas. She got me from a litter of puppies that needed to be bottle-fed. I was picked because I was so calm, little did they know at the time, I was sick with parvo. Of course, she saved my life and I’ve been going 100 miles an hour ever since. It’s a good thing she is so active. See? Perfect for me.

Dr. Jonathon Miller
&
Schotz
I’m Oddie (short for Oddball), and I’m known as a champion snuggler and a great jogging buddy, and I live with Luna (short for Looney Tunes), and my mom, Britni, and my dad, Jonathon. I’m a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix, and Luna is a brindle Boxer, and my dad is an animal doctor who likes to tackle tough dermatology cases and help my friends get that itchy allergy stuff under control. (Because that stuff is annoying, for real.) He got his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M and before that, he went to Louisiana State University and studied Animal Sciences, and he is very generous with treats. Our pack of four leads a quiet, outdoorsy life, but Jonathon is talking about getting more into water sports and that worries me. (It’s great for a cool-down, but no farther than chest-deep, y’all!)

Dr. Celeste Nimmo
I am Sushi, and I am truly the best cat ever, and I love (in this order)1. FOOD 2. My person, Dr. Celeste Nimmo, and 3. Food. I have been with Celeste for eight years. Now there are others, but I was the first. The others are Louise and Gene, the other cats (whom I mostly ignore), Dexter and Pippin, the dogs (whom I like to groom), and Veruca, the bearded dragon. And there’s also Dylan, Celeste’s boyfriend, who is my other person.
Let me tell you about Celeste. First off, she is the provider of FOOD. This is very important. Secondly, I like to sleep on her head. Thirdly, she is a veterinarian at Lakeway, and she graduated from Louisiana State University, with a Bachelors of Science and then a doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. She grew up in Louisiana, moved to Illinois to work in a small animal practice, and in 2016, came to Texas. She’s into client communication and education, which means she wants to make sure people are well-informed when making decisions about little creatures like me. And she enjoys reading, traveling, and feeding me!

Dr. Michael Walker
How do you do? I’m Apollo, and I’d like to tell you about my family. I live with two other Homo sapiens, Dr. Michael Walker and Amanda Walker, and they are lovely people. However, Dr. Walker seems to have this ridiculous desire to snuggle me, which is not my cup of tea. (Would you want to snuggle if you lived in Central Texas and wore a permanent fur coat?) There is also Bear, who is not human like the three of us, but rather a dog. He is something called a “Lab mix,” which means he lives to eat and is a bit barmy. I am something called a Border Collie, which means I am brilliant, inquisitive, and commonly considered human. Dr. Walker grew up in Austin and studied animal science and veterinary medicine at Texas A&M University. He has a particular interest in surgery and dermatology. I have a particular interest in squirrels and frisbees. That is all. Cheerio!

Dr. Cheri Honnas
Practice Manager
Hi, hi, hi! I’m Rillo, the Dachshund puppy, and I’m gonna tell you soooo much about Dr. Cheri
Honnas. Cheri is from College Station, and she did all her schooling at Texas A&M, and in
undergrad she studied biomedical science, because she always knew she was going to be a
vet. It’s a pack thing: her grandpa’s a vet, her dad’s a vet, even her brother is a vet! Cheri did a
couple of internships, so she has extra special training in internal medicine and critical care. She
really likes the detective part of vet work—figuring out what’s wrong through process of
elimination, since most fuzzy friends aren’t as literate as me!
Speaking of running, I’m always running around Lakeway Vet Clinic. I like to zoom, zoom, zoom
back and forth, watching all the docs do their important work. I love coming to work to zoom
around with my bestie.
Cheri likes hiking and reading sci-fi, and she volunteers with kids and is involved at her church. I
think maybe we get along so well, because we’re just alike! We’re high-energy, happy, bubbly
and positive, and we’re both living the fast-paced clinic life!

Dr. Natalie Liebold
Practice Manager
You want to know about Dr. Natalie Liebold? Okay then! Let me tell you, she is adventurous.
She rescued me when she was still in vet school at the University of Tennessee, and I am
adventurous, too. We hike together, and it’s great!
Oh, who am I? I’m Hamish, the adolescent Siamese mix. Some people say I act more like a
dog, because I’m such a good hiker. We live with my big brother Finnegan, the long-haired
orange tabby. He’s so boring. He sunbathes in the flower-bed all day. I’d much rather spend my
time attacking blankets and liberating socks from the laundry basket!
Natalie thought she wanted to be an architect, so that’s what she started studying as an
undergrad at Kent State. (That’s in some place I’ve never been, called Ohio. But I have been to
Pennsylvania, where she grew up!) Then she switched to zoology, and during vet school, she
worked in Italy, helping race horses recuperate from injuries.
When she’s not working, Natalie is into reading, hiking, working out—oh, and shooing me off the
counter.

Nora Becker
Practice Manager
Helloooo. I’m Piper the boxer, and I’m going to tell you all about my family. At first it was just me and my two moms, Nora and Ashley, who rescued me about four years ago. I was already six years old, but I barely remember life before the moms—it’s all been so cuddly and amazing since then! Nora works at Lakeway Vet Clinic, keeping folks and money organized. She was born in Chicago and loves playing outside, which is why we get along so well. She went to Robert Morris University on a lacrosse scholarship and her team won a national championship in 2014.
After getting her Bachelors in Health Administration, Nora got certified as a medical billing and coding specialist, and the moms rescued my sister Penelope, who is a terrier mix and therefore, thinks she is ferocious. It really is her job to protect us all, and I just leave her to it. I’d rather concentrate on putting my face really, really close to the moms and trying to telepathically communicate how much I love them, and hanging my head out the car window and whining whenever the car stops to make it go again. (Sometimes it really, really works!) Oh yes, and there is Parker. She is the baby of the family, a wiggly little dachshund-ish puppy. And that is us!

Manizea Amin
Head of Accounting
Hi. I’m Manizea, Head of Accounting for Lakeway. I received a Bachelors of Business Administration, with an accounting speciality, at Texas State University, and a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Delhi. I have lived in four countries and speak English, Hindi, Urdu, and Bengali. In my former career as a banker, I worked at BBVA Compass in Austin, Emirates Bank International in Dubai, and Societe General Bank in my home country of Dhaka. Lakeway is a nice change of pace from the sales aspect of investment banking, yet it still allows me to work with numbers, which I love. Plus, I get to be around adorable animals all day! Other than numbers, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, Mohammad and Emaad, and traveling to experience new cultures.
