Dr. Van Camp grew up in central Illinois and she knew from a young age she wanted to be a vet. She grew up around a variety of animals and had the opportunity to travel all over the world. She was an active volunteer with her local zoo until going to college.

Dr. Van Camp received her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry with a minor in Mathematics from the University of Evansville in Evansville Indiana. She went on to Purdue University where she earned her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. While at Purdue she had additional training with the Belize Wildlife and Referral Clinic, Fort Wayne Zoo, and Chicago Exotic Animal Hospital.

After graduation she moved to Tupelo, Mississippi with her husband and practiced at a small animal clinic for 4 years. In 2021 she moved to the Madison area and joined the Rocket City Veterinary Service team. She currently splits her time between the hospital and the mobile service.

In her spare time she is an avid gardener and quilter. She also enjoys time with her husband, son and many pets including 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 crested geckos, fire skin, king snake, dart frogs, and 2 chameleons.

Dr. Madison Martin is excited to be practicing her passion in her hometown. Dr. Martin was raised right here in the Rocket City since she was 5 years old. Even from a young age it was clear that she had great compassion for animals of all kinds, including a brown recluse she once caught and tried to keep as a pet. Dr. Martin’s first official furry companion was a ferret named Pooky who she quickly realized needed more friends in the form of 2 more ferrets! Dr. Martin’s interest in animal care only grew with her as she spent more and more time out at the barn with her horse, Pogo.

Dr. Martin graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science from the College of Agriculture at Auburn University before continuing her education at Kansas State University where she earned her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. During her time in school, Dr. Martin became fascinated with exotic animal medicine as she oversaw the College’s Herpetarium and volunteering within the Exotic Animal Department. Since graduating, Dr. Martin has moved back to be closer with her family and put down her own roots.

Dr. Martin now has special interest in exotic companion animal medicine and surgery. She is currently the Exotic After-Hours Veterinarian for the Rocket City Veterinary team. In her free-time Dr. Martin prefers to read, play video games, and snuggle with her dog, Eowyn. Of all the animals she works with, rats are probably her absolute favorite patients!

Dr. Maggie Elder has wanted to be a veterinarian since she was 5 years old and has never wavered. She grew up in Henderson, KY surrounded by many dogs and cats throughout the years. She rode horses with friends in her spare time and developed a love for them as well. Dr. Elder started volunteering and eventually working for her first veterinary clinic as a 16-year-old and fell in love with the industry.
