  • Michelle Krusing Weidenkopf, DVM

    Dr. Michelle is an experienced and compassionate veterinarian dedicated to
    selecting and administering the best treatments for your pet. With nearly 30 years of veterinary practice, she prioritizes the health and wellness of your dog or cat.

    Starting her career in equine veterinary medicine, Dr. Michelle was inspired by her own successful use of acupuncture, chiropractic care, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to address her health issues.
