About Us

For Drs. Andy and Marianne Baker, Gobles Veterinary Clinic is more than a career. It’s a passion project rooted in family and community.

The story of Gobles Veterinary Clinic began long before the clinic itself. As a High School Student at Gobles High School, Dr. Marianne volunteered at Dr. Andy’s father’s practice in Paw Paw, where she met Andy. Their shared love for animals and veterinary medicine grew through college, marriage, and veterinary school at Michigan State.

In 1992, the Bakers graduated from Michigan State’s College of Veterinary Medicine and opened the little clinic that could, “Gobles Veterinary Clinic,” out of their living room in their first house. One bedroom was the exam room, and the second living room was the waiting room.

In 1995, the Bakers moved Gobles Veterinary Clinic into a larger 1,000 sq. ft. building behind their house, serving as Gobles’ only veterinary clinic.

“We saw a need for a veterinary clinic that could bring the same level of care found in larger cities to the pets and families of Gobles, without asking families to drive miles away.” - Dr. Marianne Leduc-Baker, Owner and Founder.

The beginnings of Gobles Veterinary Clinic were marked by lots of change in the Baker’s lives as the practice grew, so did their family. What started out as a satellite of the Paw Paw Veterinary Clinic grew into its own.

In 1997, Bangor Veterinary Clinic opened its doors in Bangor, MI, a community that previously had limited access to local veterinary services. Bangor Veterinary Clinic started with the same goal of providing quality and compassionate veterinary care to the pets and their families of Bangor, close to home.

For nearly 30 years, Gobles Veterinary Clinic operated out of its original 1,000 sq. ft. building until it was finally time to grow. After caring for generations of pets, Drs. Andy and Marianne Baker opened a brand-new 6,000 sq. ft. facility in 2024. This newest chapter was designed to support the very best care for your pet with expanded dental and ultrasound capabilities, a dedicated space for Dr. Andy’s orthopedic surgeries, and, who can forget, the automatic doors.

For over 30 years, Drs. Andy and Marianne Baker have built a practice rooted in family, compassion, and community… one generation of pets at a time. Here’s to an even brighter future.
