Dr. Emily Whitehouse
Owner and Medical Director
Dr. Emily has wanted to be a veterinarian since the third grade, after her dad mentioned that she was pretty good with the family pets. She worked at veterinary clinics throughout her high school weekends in Ohio, before attending The Ohio State University for her undergraduate and veterinary school degrees. She moved to Southwestern Iowa in 2008 with her now-husband to practice mixed animal medicine. After four years, she headed into town to a predominately small animal clinic. She’s decided to start her own practice in Omaha after seven years, and she is SO excited to care for you and your pets! Dr. Emily and her husband have two dogs, three indoor cats, a bunch of barn cats (more show up every day, right?), and some chickens on their acreage. In her free time (ha!), she loves to garden/landscape (native plants only, please), read voraciously, prep for the apocalypse, and build furniture as a novice.

Lone Tree is a vet office with very caring staff. Dr Emily loves my pets as her own and I couldnt ask for more. Sometimes they are so busy that its hard to get a timely appointment for my pets. My two babies both have pretty serious health issues and getting them in to be seen cant happen quickly enough. Your pets will be cared for as though they belonged to Dr Emily.

I love dr emily and all of lone tree so much! they always make me and rue feel so welcomed, comfortable, and cared for. i do wish the patient portal had more features (like in-app communication, scheduling wellness exams, visit details, etc.) but those things take time and overall i am immensely grateful for the care we get at lone tree! rue is always the happiest little weenie dog whenever she gets to see dr emily :)

We have an adult male cat, Ruby, that's prone to urinary crystals/blockage. Lone Tree has been incredible through the whole ordeal. The level of care and kindness towards Ruby has been amazing every visit. Money is always a difficult topic when it involves life saving procedures, but I feel their pricing is more than fair. Thank you Lone Tree for saving our Ruby!

I have a very fear reactive/aggressive dog especially when it comes to the vet. When I got there they allowed me to stay in my car and texted me when I could come in. Everyone gave my dog her space to get into our room. My experience at the vet is never very comfortable but they make me feel as comfortable as possible and are very accommodating and patient.

Just left after taking our three cats in to see Dr. Emily. I can't say enough good things about our experience. The front desk staff was knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Emily was amazing with our animals and even though we had an incredibly spicy cat she handled him with care and grace. They took care of all of our needs and were transparent about every part of the process. We will be loyal customers going forward

Great communication, excellent service. Can't put into words how awesome Dr. Emily and the staff are! My dog can be how to put it. a pain sometimes when around other animals, the staff is very accommodating for this and works with me on it. Staff also explains everything to me so that I clearly understand what is going on every step of the way, also very affordable!

Dr. Emily and her staff are top notch. The best of the best, super helpful, caring, and knowledgeable. I wouldn't trust my babies with anyone else! This new location is much nicer, smells better, and not too hard to find. So happy for your new solo adventure! We've always taken our pack of dogs and cats to her specifically for years and years, no one else will do.
And I recently added a rabbit to our mix and am so pleased and grateful she was able to neuter him and provides just as excellent care to something not your average everyday pet! The Kingery family appreciates all your hard work & kindess, Dr. Emily & staff!

Dr. Emily Whitehouse has been our veterinarian. We followed her from the council bluffs vet clinic n travel to downtown Omaha. She always so helpful. Loves our pets, n they love her too. She's willing to explain the animals health issues to our family where we can understand things. And make great decisions. Thank you so much for helping with our breeding Shih Tzus.
