Veterinarian, Owner
Dr. William T. Carlisle received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University. Born in Northwest Wisconsin and growing up in Iowa, he always felt a yearning to return to Wisconsin. After graduation, he started his career at Kenosha Animal Hospital where he felt right at home, and where he continues to develop and foster those strong doctor-client-patient relationships that he has become known for. His philosophy of always providing excellence in the medical or surgical care of his patients has resulted in a diverse clientele from far distances away. Known for his unyielding commitment to the patient, he has a reputation of being a workaholic, but gains great satisfaction from making a difference in the lives of his patients and clients.
Dr. Carlisle is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), the Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association (WVMA), and the International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management (IVAPM). Over the years, Dr. Carlisle has found himself featured in many published articles on medical and surgical cases as well as alternative cancer therapies. He has written hundreds of veterinary medical articles and short stories where he shares his insights on the care of our special family members. He has served on several committees including church, school, family businesses, the WVMA, and the National Sciences Board of Carthage College.
Dr. Carlisle’s special interests include complicated soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, difficult internal medicine cases, and excellence in wellness and preventative care including weight management. He prides himself on always thinking “outside the box” to manage unresponsive clinical cases, especially cancer patients using alternative therapies.
When Dr. Carlisle is not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife and their three rescue dogs: Honey, Bug, and Hazel. He also enjoys reading and learning new things, relaxing and enjoying the solitude of canoeing in the Boundary Waters with family and friends, and sitting by their fire pit listening to music ranging from classical to Pink Floyd.
