Staff of Park Lane Veterinary Hospital
Tonya Ramsey, Practice Manager
Tonya has been a Practice Manager with our team at Park Lane Veterinary since June of 2010. She’s known for her true dedication to the clinic and her compassion for our family of clients and patients. Her favorite aspect of the job is the fact that Dr. Holland keeps everyone on their toes with new technologies in veterinary medicine.
Her duties as Practice Manager include overseeing all operations in the clinic setting, medical records oversight, vendor accounts, inventory management, implementation of safety protocols, and maintaining a positive and enriching team culture.
Tonya believes that the Park Lane team is a hardworking group with a passion for providing the highest quality of care. “This clinic has a very unique family culture among its team members and I think his spills over into our client base as well. That ‘family doctor’ feel is harder to come by these days with large corporate run clinics becoming more prevalent.”
Tonya has one seven-year-old red merle Australian Shepherd named Joey who is also a talented disc dog.
When she’s not working, she loves spending time with her family and traveling with her husband when they can manage to get away. Artsy by nature, she loves any activity that allows her to let her creativity shine!
Dempsy Roberson, Veterinary Nurse
Dempsy is our highly skilled veterinary nurse with over 24 years of experience in the field! Starting with us in 2009, she has worked with a variety of small and companion animal clinics since 1998.
Her daily duties with our team include patient care in the hospital, doing x-rays, laser therapy, administering first aid, assisting with surgery, phlebotomy, pharmacy, and assisting the doctor with exams. Despite her experience, she still looks forward to broadening her animal care knowledge.
“I love the relationships we have with clients, the high caliber of medicine we practice, and the close-knit family-type atmosphere in the hospital.”
Dempsy has six dogs: Tonka, Peanut, Shylow, Hank, Jessie, and Seris. She also has several cats, horses, cattle, chickens, and goats.
She adores her chickens and loves taking Tonka out for adventures–sometimes her cat Recon comes along. She also loves gardening while listening to audiobooks, is an active member of her church, and is a faithful supporter of the high school band boosters where she volunteers.

“Park Lane is ever-changing and innovating–I love being a part of this close-knit team and experiencing the new practices, technologies, and medicines as they become available.”
Ira has a black lab mix named Pixie and a standard poodle named Redvine. They also have four cats named Jack, Alice, Gravy Boat, and Fishstick. Ira enjoys practicing creative grooming on Redvine, who is also registered through the UKC and will one day participate in dog sports.
When they're not working, Ira also loves trying new types of tea, watching Asian dramas, going to estate sales, walking and training their dogs, spending time with their family and friends, and reading poetry.

Shannan has been working with us since 2010 and has a Paramedic degree and Dental Assistant certification.
“Ever since I was little, working with animals has been my dream. I’ve been at this clinic for 12 years because the staff are more like family to me, and our clients are some of the sweetest people around. I also love being able to help animals in some form or another.”
Shannan has an English Mastiff named Beefcake, a Corgi named Sky, and three cats named Simba, Lilly, and Linkin. She also has a wallaby named Benny and a bearded dragon named Groot.
