Jennifer L. Beaulieu, DVM
Dr. Beaulieu completed her undergraduate studies at the University of New Hampshire, and received her Bachelors of Science in Pre-veterinary Medicine in May of 1996. She started working in the veterinary field in 1990, and worked as a veterinary assistant, veterinary receptionist and veterinary technician over the course of seven years before finally pursuing her dream of becoming a Veterinarian.

She received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree from Ross University, School of Veterinary Medicine in January of 2000. Her education included spending two and one-third years of academic studies on the island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean, and one year of clinical rotations at Purdue University, School of Veterinary Medicine in Lafayette, Indiana. She graduated third in her class with academic honors.

Dr. Beaulieu took her first position as a full-time veterinary associate at Fisherville Animal Hospital in Concord, NH in February of 2000. She worked there for seven years before opening the Lake Side Animal Hospital in January of 2007. Her special interests are in surgery and medicine involving dogs and cats. She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the New Hampshire Veterinary Medical Association, the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and the American Association of Feline Practitioners. She is an advocate of spaying and neutering, and has a strong belief in preventative veterinary care for pets. She has five pets of her own.

She currently lives in Northfield, NH with her husband, Steve, and daughter, Alison. They share their home with their two cats, Roxx and Dexter, their dog, Sturgis and their two rats, Winslow and Liddell.

Jen, Abby, Taz and Orion

Jennifer Hauschulz, LVT
Jen graduated from New Hampshire Community Technical College in May 2001 with an Associate Degree in Veterinary Technology. She was employed at an animal hospital in Concord, NH, where she met and established a great working rapport with Dr. Jen!

Jen finds her job at Lakeside Animal Hospital very rewarding. She loves to educate clients in the care of their pets and helping to treat them throughout their lives. Her greatest satisfaction comes from participating in the care of critically sick pets and helping them recover back to health so they can be reunited with their families.

Jen lives in Penacook with her husband Rene, children Rob and Rhiannon and their pets Abby (black lab), Taz (Siamese cat), and Orion (her son's leopard gecko). In her free time, she enjoys reading, hiking, gardening, listening to music and spending time with her family.

Stephanie

Stephanie Fraser, Receptionist
I started working in a veterinarian's office when I was in high school and have never left. I really enjoy helping pets and their owners; sharing my experiences and theirs is the best part of my job. Or maybe it's hugging and kissing all the new puppies and kittens.

I currently have 5 dogs, 3 cats and 2 children.

I'm also involved with sled dog racing and skijoring. I hope to see you all soon!

Geoffrey N. Clark, DVM, Diplomate, ACVS - Veterinary Surgery of New England
Dr. Clark operates a mobile surgical practice and comes into our hospital to perform orthopedic procedures such as leg fractures and cruciate ligament tear repairs. Being a mobile surgeon he eliminates the need for patients who would otherwise need to travel for a referral. He's also one of the best orthopedic surgeons in New Hampshire.

Dr. Clark offers laser surgery techniques for procedures such as stenotic nares, soft palate resections and everted saccules (on some of the smaller, brachycephalic breeds like Pugs or Bulldogs). Dr. Clark has performed several ear resection cases at LSAH (dogs or cats that have chronic ear infections). He can do more extensive surgeries than Dr. Jen. If there is a necessary surgery that is more complicated than Dr. Jen feels comfortable handling, we call Dr. Clark, a Board Certified Surgeon.

Dr. Clark is married and has two daughters, Olivia and Juliette.
