Harmony Mobile Veterinary Clinic - Sault Sainte Marie - Our Doctors

Jill M. Lynn, DVM 

Dr. Jill Lynn founded Harmony Mobile Veterinary Clinic in July 2015, though she has practiced in the Sault Ste. Marie area for more than 4 years prior to this. She is a 2008 graduate of Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine and has practiced in southern Michigan and Ohio prior to moving to the Upper Peninsula. Dr. Jill also serves as a Major in the U.S. Army Reserve Veterinary Corps. In 2011, she deployed to East Africa for 6 months and worked in remote areas of Djibouti, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia. Her mission was to partner with local animal health workers (non-veterinarians) in under-served areas to treat diseases and help keep the cattle, sheep and goat population healthy and stable. In some areas, she treated dogs, cats, chickens and even some camels and a monkey or two! She lived in areas without electricity, indoor plumbing and limited food supply. In 2022, she deployed to Baghdad, Iraq and led a team of 7 stationed throughout the country supporting Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) in Iraq and Syria. She enjoyed working with U.S. Military Working Dog (MWD) teams as well as our Coalition partners from around the world. Currently, she serves as Veterinary Preventive Medicine Officer in the 432nd Civil Affairs Battalion in Green Bay, WI. Dr. Jill serves on the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) Board of Directors, and is Michigan Delegate to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

In her house-call practice, Dr. Jill enjoys caring for dogs and cats of all ages, but has a soft spot in her heart for senior pets. Dr. Jill strives to help make those final years happy and comfortable for everyone. There are many options to aid older pets in mobility and comfort. Dr. Jill shares her former dairy farm home with her four dogs (chow chows adopted from shelters) and husband Bruce. She enjoys staying active on her Peloton, hiking with her dogs, kayaking and traveling to unusual places.

Cassandra Ayers Panik, DVM

Dr. Cassie Ayers Panik has been practicing veterinary medicine in the Upper Peninsula since graduating in 2009 from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  She is originally from the Ann Arbor area, but moved north when job opportunities for her and her husband were available and she hasn’t regretted it.  As a veterinarian, Dr. Cassie knows the importance of and seeks to strengthen the bond between owner and pet with each visit.  She enjoys meeting each new addition, whether young or older, and loves to see her patients grow and mature each year. 

Besides being a veterinarian, she is a wife to Michael and mom to three great kids who bring fun, love and challenges to each day.  Rusty Redford, a Chow Chow, joined their family 4 years ago and has fit in beautifully, watching over them and being adored by all.  In the summer, you can find her in her flower and vegetable gardens, riding her horse, Sam, hiking, or enjoying the sun anywhere it is shining.  In the winter, she enjoys cross-country skiing and snowmobiling with family and friends, or just curling up with a good book. Dr. Cassie works part-time (typically Thursdays) at our clinic and covers extra days when Dr. Jill is away for Army Reserve duties.
