She is a recent graduate of the Veterinary Technician program at Northwood Tech (formerly WITC) in New Richmond, WI. She has completed two internships with us and is striving for her certification this fall. It is a 100% guarantee that when your cat or dog spends the day with us, they will get all the cuddles and "nose boops" from this girl! 

Holly joined our team in 2009 as a receptionist and now wears many different hats at the clinic. She lives in Menomonie with her two daughters and two cats, Bugs and Lola. In her free time, Holly likes to travel, go to sporting events, read, and complete home improvement projects.

Fern has been with Country Doctors since 2008. She takes her supervisory role seriously and watches daily from above the doctor's computer.

Affectionately called "the Princess," she isn't shy about telling anybody what to do and when to help her down. She can also be seen in the afternoons when she strolls through the reception area for a treat and a quick pet before dinner.

Binx joined Country Doctors in 2018 after an unfortunate accident turned him into a "tripod" kitty.

He is best known for his enthusiastic greeting of clients and his penchant for wearing clothing. He struts his stuff on the catwalk daily and races up and down the hallways at top speed. Feel free to ask him about his extensive wardrobe next time you stop by!
