About Us

Parkway Veterinary Clinic was founded by Dr. Wes Lichfeldt in 1949. The practice served both large and small animals and was surrounded by fields and open space. Over the years, Dr. McClumpha became the veterinarian and gradually the practice grew to serve the small animal population. Eventually, Dr. McClumpha was joined by Dr. Kirchgatter, and a second location was opened in Canton, Michigan. The practices served as one practice serving the community from 2 locations.

Dr. Bares became a partner in 1975, as the practice continued to grow. Dr. Routson joined the practice in 1990, as did Dr. Burt. They were followed by Dr. Neault. Other veterinarians have also served the community here at Parkway Veterinary Clinic and we are so pleased to have Dr. King and Dr. Mann on our staff as well.

Dr. Routson and Dr. Neault grew up in the Plymouth/Canton community and Dr. Bares and Dr. Burt grew up in surrounding communities. Dr. King also grew up in a neighboring community. These veterinarians have all remained committed to serving this area which has served us so well throughout our early years. We are dedicated to remaining an integral part of this community for years to come.

The entire Parkway staff is dedicated to providing the best possible care for you and your pets. We strive to practice high quality medicine and are in the process of renovating the original Plymouth location so that the appearance of the building will match the quality of the care provided on the inside of the buildings.

We appreciate your faith in allowing us to partner with you in caring for your pets.
