Dr. Feddersen is a proud Midwesterner and graduate of Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

She began her career in Charlottesville, VA at Albemarle Veterinary Hospital and then moved back to the Midwest to work in Chicago at Blum Animal Hospital. She found herself back on the East Coast in NJ and spent the majority of her private practice career at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital.

She loved her time at RBVH, enjoyed the state-of-the-art medicine. She appreciated the friends and colleagues she worked with and feels they made her a better veterinarian. 

After she volunteered in the rescue efforts during Hurricane Katrina, Dr. Feddersen knew she wanted to do something more for a larger group of animals. She fulfilled that dream, gave up a private practice and became the Medical Director for the Monmouth County SPCA. 

During her 6 years at the MCSPCA, her accomplishments include:

Increasing the level of medical care by implementing protocols, improving equipment, upgrading computer software and beginning a lecture series for staff and volunteers regarding various medical, behavioral and self-care topics. 

Dr. Feddersen improved professionalism by letting shelter staff and volunteers know they are important and valued, getting rid of “we are just a shelter”. It was important to her that the staff and volunteers knew they’re part of a team working in a state of the art, respected, not-for-profit organization.

She bridged the gap with other veterinary organizations including local referral practices as well as national organizations like HSUS and ASPCA. Dr. Feddersen was influential in having the MCSPCA be chosen as one of 11 shelters across the country that HSUS matched as a model shelter to a struggling shelter in Puerto Rico.

Dr. Feddersen was the primary veterinarian in the largest hoarding case in NJ history. Overseeing the medical care of over300 dogs rescued from one home in one day.

She has testified in court as an expert witness in multiple cruelty cases. Participated in seizing dogs from a dogfighting ring in Long Branch that, along with humane law officers, sent one individual who was part of an international dogfighting ring to federal prison. 

Dr. Feddersen had the idea to open a veterinary clinic inside the MCSPCA. The purpose was to keep animals in their loving homes by giving them access to quality, affordable veterinary care. After working with an amazing group of hard-working staff, colleagues and donors, the Vogel Veterinary Care Center was created. The first year it opened helped over 1000 animals and their families. That number continues to grow and is Dr. Feddersen’s proudest achievement.

With her goals at the MCSPCA accomplished. Dr. Feddersen is happy to be back in private practice and thrilled to be practicing with the great group of hard-working, compassionate, smart and fun AAH staff. 

Dr. Feddersen is also an active member of the NJ Veterinary Medical Association, an executive board member for the NJ Veterinary Medical Foundation, an executive board member of Save US Pets and was the NJ representative for the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association.

In her down time, along with her husband she loves to spend time with their pets, nurse baby wildlife to health, spend time eating and drinking with friends and family especially after a nice long bike ride.

He then spent one year at Ross University in St. Kitts, after which he transferred to Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Lewis then went on to complete a rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery at VREC in Norwalk, CT, where he developed a passion for ultrasonography.

Dr. Lewis entered general practice in August of 2004 at Iselin Veterinary Hospital and worked general and emergency medicine for seven years while serving as Medical Director for three years at Central Jersey Veterinary Emergency Service, performing in house ultrasound exams for both Iselin and Woodbridge Veterinary Hospitals.

For the ten years before joining American Animal Hospital, Dr. Lewis invested an enormous amount of time and effort into becoming proficient at oral surgery while advancing his ultrasound ability as a veterinarian at Eagle Rock Veterinary Hospital. He is a member of the Tri-State Veterinary Dental Society, the NJVMA, and AVMA.

His myriad of outside interests includes cooking (ask him about his quest to hand form every pasta shape on earth!), gardening, hot yoga, reading about cars, and spending time with his amazing family. His wife April is a veterinary technician, and he has two children, a son Spencer and daughter Francis. He and his family reside in Shongum Lake with their three dogs, three cats, and a group of pampered fish.

Dr. Lewis has always wanted to be a veterinarian and feels lucky to be literally living his dream every day he comes into the office.
