Dr. Hynes is a lifelong Michigan resident who grew up in Detroit with her father working as a police officer and her mother is a registered nurse (retired). She attended Divine Child High School, then Henry Ford College before being accepted into Michigan State University. From undergraduate studies, she went on to the College of Veterinary Medicine and graduated with her doctorate in Zoology.
Ore Creek Veterinary Clinic had the great fortune of adding Dr. Hynes to the team in September of 2020 and we couldn't be more pleased. Dr. Hynes brought with her an amazing surgical skill set, excellent internal medicine skills, clinical diagnostics, the addition of ultrasound abilities. If that wasn't enough she sees exotic pets. Since joining the team we now get to see all kinds of birds and pocket pets like rabbits and even some sugar gliders.
Along with her duties at Ore Creek, Dr. Hynes finds time to provide vet med services to the Howell Nature Center. Some of those appointments have included spaying coyotes, removing frost bitten opossum tails and nursing raptors back to health.
Dr. Hynes lives in Livingston County with her husband Steve and has raised two great young men. While not practicing vet med she enjoys reading, outdoor activities like hiking the Appalachian Trail and traveling the world. One of her recent trips was to Scotland.
