TOWN AND COUNTRY TLC VET - Key Persons

I am a native of the Rapid City area and decided early on that I wanted to become a veterinarian. Through high school and my undergraduate education, I continued in my dream, though many told me to find a different career. My persistence paid off and I attended Ross University of Veterinary Medicine and completed my last year or clinical year at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. I have many passions in the field including herd health and reproduction and am certified in AI and FAMACHA, acupuncture and wildlife rehabilitation. Once, you start your education in veterinary medicine everyone wants to know what you want to treat and that has been a very hard question for me because I want to treat it all. I love animals and want to do everything I can to help any animal live the best life possible. I am lucky enough to start this practice to work on my large animal friends and those animals that may not be able to get a ride to the clinic and incorporate eastern medicine to aid in the benefits of western medicine. I am also very fortunate to be able to work alongside my mentor Dr. Christine Teets of TLC pet hospital before vet school and after and eventually merge our practices together.
