Dr. Julie
Perhaps a bit of a perfectionist, Dr. Julie is particularly passionate about pets and paddling.
Even with extensive experience, she is earnestly eager about education. She endeavors to enlighten clients and excel at earning even more excellent erudition.
She strives for superior surgical skills and systematically searches for a specific diagnosis so she can restore your special Shorthair, Siamese, Scottie or Springer Spaniel to his standard health status.
Laboriously learning laparoscopy, she can spay your Labradoodle laparoscopically leaving less pain for your little loved one.
Keeping cool, Dr. Julie craves kayaking in her spare time. Loving languid lakes, she seakayaks for leisure and really relishes racing her red kayak. She sometimes surfs the Superior or Michigan seas, and even ekes out some exercise at her endeavor.
