Meet our Doctors!
Dr. Tina Marcotte
Dr. Marcotte received her DVM from the University of Illinois in 2002. She practiced for two years at an AAHA accredited dog and cat hospital in Evanston, then spent five years in a busy emergency room treating injured and critically ill dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and small mammals. When Dr. Reddy, the former owner of Agape Animal Hospital, decided to retire in 2009 Dr. Marcotte was delighted to step in and return to general practice. Dr. Marcotte has two small children and a small zoo of her own. Her current area of interest is exploring alternative therapies and how to integrate them with traditional medical treatments to help alleviate pain and promote optimal health in our furry companions.

Dr. Gia Gallegos
Dr. Gallegos earned her DVM in 1995 from the University of Illinois. Most recently, Dr. Gallegos worked for 13 years at an animal emergency room, where she treated dogs, cats, small mammals, birds and reptiles alongside our own Dr. Marcotte. With the addition of Dr. Gallegos to our team, we are now able to treat small mammals. She has a bright smile, an infectious laugh, and is a master of home improvement. We are so happy to have her as part of our team.

Michelle- Michelle joined Green Paws in May of 2013 after working five years in the same animal emergency room as both Dr. Gallegos and Dr. Marcotte. She currently runs the front desk and keeps the Green Paws website up to date. She was happy to make the change from seeing critical cases every night to seeing puppies and kittens on a regular basis! In her spare time Michelle spends time with her husband, “Muppet” the Pekingese (you’ve probably seen him manning the front desk with his momma!) and her three cute kitties.
