Meet Our Veterinary Team in Northfield, MN
The professionals at Cannon Valley Veterinary Clinic provide attentive care and support for dogs, cats, and their owners in Northfield and surrounding Minnesota communities. Meet the veterinarians, licensed veterinary technicians, assistants, receptionists, and operations staff who contribute to our full-service veterinary care.
The People Behind Your Pet’s Care
Caring for each patient requires people with different skills working toward the same goal. Our veterinarians diagnose health concerns, develop treatment recommendations, perform procedures, and help owners understand their options. Licensed veterinary technicians support patient care through responsibilities that include nursing, diagnostic imaging, laboratory work, anesthesia, surgery, sample collection, and client education. Veterinary assistants help pets and families throughout their visits, while receptionists guide communication and provide a welcoming first point of contact.
The team’s education includes veterinary and animal science programs at the University of Minnesota, Kansas State University, Concordia College, Dakota County Technical College, Minnesota School of Business, Ridgewater College, Rochester Community and Technical College, Argosy, UW–River Falls, and the University of Minnesota, Waseca. Team members bring varied professional backgrounds, clinical interests, and years of experience to the clinic.
That range of knowledge supports collaboration across preventive care, dentistry, diagnostics, surgery, pharmacy needs, doggy daycare, boarding, and retail operations. Just as importantly, team members share a commitment to client education, patient advocacy, and recognizing the individual personality of every dog or cat. These biographies introduce the people who help Cannon Valley Veterinary Clinic maintain a professional, warm, and approachable experience for local families.
