Dr. Tim Fouts

A native of Anderson Township, Ohio, I chose to go west after veterinary school to do an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the West Los Angeles Veterinary Medical Group. It was there I cared for pets owned by such celebrities as Joan Rivers, Sheena Easton, Greg Louganis, Ice-T, Joanna Cassidy, Robert Culp, Eva Gabor, Shelly Hack, Aaron Spelling (and his daughter, Tori) to name a few. From there I went to a busy referral practice in Monrovia, California, located in suburban L.A. County, where I gained extensive experience in soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, working for six years under the late Dr. Raymond Weitkamp, an accomplished veterinary surgeon. After meeting and marrying my wife Lynn, a California native, I was able to convince her that Ohio offered a friendlier, smog-free way of life. We relocated to Clermont County, Ohio and opened Hillside Small Animal Hospital in 1996. We now live in Loveland with our two sons, a cat named “Boo”, and our dog "Patch". Aside from work as a veterinarian and practice-owner, I am an amateur photographer, but I probably draw the most satisfaction in life from being a husband and father. I am also an avid golfer as is my wife. Our two boys are both college engineering students, one in aerospace at Purdue University and one in computer science at University of Cincinnati.

Lynn Fouts

My name is Lynn Fouts and I am the practice manager for Hillside Small Animal Hospital, LLC. I grew up in Arcadia, CA, which is just east of Los Angeles. I graduated with my B.S. in Management in 1995 from California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, CA. I met my husband, Dr. Timothy Fouts, in 1991 working at a very busy small animal practice in Monrovia, CA. We married in 1995 and moved to the Cincinnati area in 1996. We opened Hillside Small Animal Hospital that fall. I am blessed with two boys who make life so full and fun. Our furry family includes our pit bull "Patch" (pictured with me), and our cat "Boo". When I’m not working, you may find me out on the golf course. I thoroughly enjoy the peace and serenity I feel on the golf course playing with my friends every week in my league. I am also a certified Jazzercise instructor. I started teaching in January 2007, and love the way Jazzercise makes me feel. It keeps me fit and is a wonderful stress outlet.

My name is Michelle Baker, and I’m a registered veterinary technician at Hillside. I’ve been here for quite some time! I started out as an assistant in May of 2006 and obtained my Vet Tech license in 2008. I went to UC Raymond Walters, (UC Blue Ash) for my degree. I chose this career because animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up on a farm with cows, chickens, and pigs. I always had a lot of cats, dogs, and even rabbits. Animals are definitely one of my passions. In my free time I love to sing! Whether it be singing karaoke somewhere, in church, for weddings, I love it! I’ve been married since June 2012 and my husband Brian and I have 1 son named Jett. He’s 6 years old and he’s a total blast and joy in our lives. We have 2 cats and 2 dogs. Greta and Tyson are the kitties, Mona and Cora are the dogs. They are mutts, but hey, that’s the best kind of dog! ;)
