We have three dedicated veterinarians that serve Cedar Falls, IA and all the surrounding communities! I grew up on an acreage and spent countless time with our menagerie of pets. I remember telling my parents that I was going to be a veterinarian ever since I was eight years old. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from Iowa State University in 1996 and received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2000.
Prior to working at Taylor Veterinary Hospital, I was a general practitioner at Ottumwa Veterinary Clinic in Ottumwa, Iowa. As a veterinarian, I enjoy the variety I see every day; from a physical exam on a healthy kitten, to providing pain management for a dog with a terminal disease, to restoring a sick guinea pig's health, and everything in-between.
One of my favorite moments in practice is seeing the expression on an owner's face when they know their sick pet is well again. I also have a special interest in behavioral medicine/therapy. My wife and I have three children, four cats, a dog, and multiple bunnies.

Preventive care is the single most important thing you can do to protect your pet's health.
Your pet ages much faster than you do, so a yearly physical examination, stool check for worms, and a heartworm blood test for dogs, allow the doctor to find problems early.
Vaccinations are important to prevent serious and fatal diseases in your dogs, cats, ferrets and to protect people too.
The doctor will establish an individual vaccination protocol for your pet based on his species, age and risk factors.

Pets age more quickly than humans.
For this reason, when your pet reaches their actual age of 50, we recommend screening for potential diseases that could go undetected until they become serious.
If caught early, treatment can slow disease progression and result in a longer, happier life.
Abdominal ultrasound - Screens abdominal organs (liver, spleen, kidneys, etc.) for any change in size or texture, and monitors for any masses.
If you choose to have your pet screened for potential life-threatening diseases, we are offering a bundle savings of 35% when compared to individual prices.
