Honored Mentor
Timothy M. Lenehan
DVM, DACVS
Tim’s commitment and integrity to the process of training a surgeon has brought me to a place of confidence and satisfaction with my career that I could not have otherwise achieved without his efforts. I have great admiration and respect for who he is and what he has done for me and others to advance the art of veterinary surgery.

My surgical successes in life are solely attributable to the mentors that I was fortunate enough to have trained with: Dave Nunamaker, Chuck Newton, Gail Smith, Colin Harvey, and Dudley Johnston. Without their teaching, I would have found little success. The young surgeons, which I have been privileged to train, have unknowingly incorporated my mentors' talents into their methodologies. Mentoring is a way to pass the torch, and with it, a generation of knowledge not always found in books.
