Andrew Smith - Practice Manager

Andrew began his introduction to the veterinary field when he married Sarah in 2002.  He has always loved animals and grew up with cats until a dog with one white paw stole his heart.   Andrew is very excited to begin a new career managing the practice.  He and Sarah are both very excited to meet and build relationships with Mackinaw’s clients and patients.
 
Dr. Zuker and Andrew were both born and raised in Shiawassee County.  Together they purchased Mackinaw Veterinary Associates in November of 2016.  They are very happy to be back in mid-Michigan and to raise their daughter with her family and small town, mid-western values.   When they are not at the clinic, they enjoy road trips, concerts, playing outdoors with their daughter and doting on their pets.
