Lisandra Garcia brings both her genuine love for animals and years of veterinary experience to her role as Hospital Manager at Animal Hospital of Richboro. She began her journey in veterinary medicine as a veterinary technician, gaining hands-on experience in pet care while supporting skilled veterinary teams. Her dedication, empathy, and natural leadership gradually guided her into management.

She joined Animal Hospital of Richboro in June 2025, eager to use her experience to guide the practice, mentor staff, and ensure every patient and family feels supported and valued.

For Lisandra, working with animals has always been more than a career—it’s her passion. One experience that stands out is witnessing the power of microchipping pets. Seeing lost animals safely returned to their families—and sharing in the joy, relief, and sometimes tears of their owners—reminds her every day how even small acts can create profound, lasting impact in the lives of pets and the people who love them.

Lisandra thrives on educating clients about best practices for their pets’ health, helping families feel confident and informed in caring for their furry companions. She also loves collaborating with her team to solve challenges, improve processes, and ensure every patient receives compassionate, attentive care.

Born and raised in Philadelphia as the youngest of a large family, Lisandra was influenced by her parents and siblings, and her interests always leaned toward animals (and even owning a nail salon, for fun!). Today, she shares her home with her 13-year-old son, Greg, and a fur family including Blu, a Pit/Bully mix, and two cats, Franklyn and Love—all of whom have their own unique personalities and ways of showing love. Outside of work, Lisandra enjoys self-care, family time, and the occasional humorous moment, like the client who tried to soften her dog’s wiry coat with a full bottle of conditioner.

Her curiosity, warmth, and dedication make Lisandra a valued leader and trusted resource at Animal Hospital of Richboro.

Kelly grew up in Philadelphia with plenty of cats and dogs, and always knew in her gut that she was meant for a career in animal care. She’s been working in veterinary medicine ever since she was old enough to secure employment! Now, Kelly is a Certified Veterinary Technician here at the Animal Hospital of Richboro.

Kelly began her animal-care career as a dog and cat bather, working her way up to a Veterinary Assistant position from there. She attended Manor College to earn her Associate’s degree in Veterinary Technology, and became a Certified Veterinary Technician in Pennsylvania in 1999. Having previously worked in emergency medicine with Dr. Jennifer Kramer, Kelly was happy to join forces with her again as a member of the Animal Hospital of Richboro team. Here at the hospital, Kelly particularly enjoys drawing blood for samples, taking X-rays, and helping out with surgeries.

Kelly lives locally with her son and the family cats.

Before she was an employee here at the Animal Hospital of Richboro, Kara was a client. She often fostered kittens during her summers, and mentioned to Dr. Kramer that she would like to continue fostering animals when autumn arrived as well. The very next day, Dr. Kramer called Kara and asked if she would be interested in a job!

Kara grew up in Yardley, Pennsylvania, where her childhood pets first sparked her love of animal care. Now, she feels incredibly fortunate to tend to the needs of pets and animal owners every day as the Animal Hospital of Richboro’s Senior Receptionist—her favorite part of the workday is talking with pet owners and witnessing the fascinating bonds between humans and animals.

In her time away from work, Kara enjoys gardening, collecting sand dollars and sea glass at the beach, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family. She and her husband of 26 years, Pat, have two wonderful children: Ryan, who will soon graduate from Bloomsburg University, and Erin, who studies at the University of Pittsburgh. The family shares their home with six loveable cats named Snickers, Cuddles, Murphy, Beaners, Lilly, and Tucker.
