About UsRiser Animal Hospital was built and founded in 1950 by Dr. Wayne Riser, DVM, and served as a model for state-of-the-art animal hospitals built later. Dr. Riser was one of the founders of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)* and had a special interest in hip dysplasia and histopathology. References to his work can still be found in current publications. Dr. Riser worked as a solo practitioner until Dr. Chuck Olt purchased the practice in the 1960s. Dr. Edna Guibor joined the partnership shortly thereafter. Dr. Thomas Russell replaced Dr. Olt in the partnership, and then Dr. Michael Riley replaced Dr. Guibor when she retired. Drs. Russell and Riley operated the practice as a two-doctor partnership until Dr. Emil Baukert joined the practice in 1977. Dr. Baukert assumed full ownership in 1998. Riser is now a five-doctor practice with a long history of quality small animal medicine and surgery combined with client-oriented service. This can be directly attributed to the staff's motivation and care towards animals and their caregivers. With this history of commitment to excellence in mind, an award was received from the American Animal Hospital Association for 50 years of continuous membership. To date the hospital has 60 continuous years of meeting their high standard. Riser Animal Hospital has qualified at the highest level of certification.
