Dr. Romain has been married to his wife, Clare, since 1973.  Clare retired in August of 2012 after 25 years with the Olathe School District where she served as a counselor at the Alternative Junior and Senior High School Program.  Their twins, Jeremy and Suzanne, were born in 1981.  Both reside in the Olathe area.  Dr. Romain is an avid outdoorsman, fly fisherman and wildlife conservation advocate.  Although many beloved pets have come and gone, they currently have Amber and Rosie, both golden retrievers.

“It has been a career goal of mine to provide our community with the current and best medical care for a wide variety of pets.  These animals are an essential key in the mental and physical well being of our clients.  Without them, many of us would have a much lower quality of life.  Our goal at the Olathe Animal Hospital will always be to maintain that relationship by providing the best care possible.”
