Dr. Kim Krivit DVM  Veterinarian / Owner

   Welcome to our Veterinary Hospital.   Please meet the rest of the team on this page.
I am fortunate to have gathered a group of professionals that are as committed to their job
and the love of animals as I am.

The growth of North Star Hospital and Equine has been a goal
of mine for the last fifteen years.  My husband Rob and I continually strive to provide our client's pets and horses with the best health and medical care in the area.  Our seasoned staff and new state of the art facility is our expression of dedication to our longtime customers and community.   Our 24 Hour Emergency Care is an essential part of our practice.  It is one of the many ways to provide a quick recovery when our equine, canine and feline friends are in urgent need.
With my family Rob and Willow, we invite you
to join ours at North Star Veterinary Hospital.
                         Sincerely,   Kim


Robert Chase    Facilities Manager / Large Animal Rescue / Owner

Whatever I can do to make your time here efficient, safe and stress free,
please ask.  I'm thrilled with the way our facility turned out.
 
Kim and I researched the best equipment and layout
for your animals health and well being. 

Working with animals large or small can be a very physical job. 
Owners of lengthy horse trailers will appreciate the large curved drive through in back and many drop off access options. The hospital was designed for active animals with high grade non slip floors and ample space for techs and doctors to work.

Thank you for your trust in our team and business.
Don't forget,
North Star Equine Stables is right next
                                                      door to
the hospital.  Boarding, riding lessons
                                                      and transport services are all available.
             Rob  

 
Dr. Julie M. Irwin DVM   Associate Veterinarian

   The human animal bond is such a powerful thing.  I like to inspire and develope that in my patients and clients.  After almost four years as a military veterinarian and one year
as a local small animal vet, I am happy to expand my desire to care for a wider range of animals.  I have an entire farm that keeps my interaction with animals very busy. 
Amongst the horses, cats, dogs, chickens, turkeys, and rabbits, I also spend time
preparing for equine competitions.
I enjoy participating actively with with my German Shepherds in Shutzhund training.  Schutzhund is a sport that focuses on developing and evaluating those traits in dogs that make them more useful and happier companions to their owners. This is a one on one active sport that keeps me and Arjako very active.

Amy Montoya         Registered Veterinary Technician 

   I have always loved working with animals.  I enjoy the many opportunities daily 
to use my skills and training to educate owners how to help their pets live a
long and healthy life.  The growing information on animal care and new techniques
continues to inspire me to continue my education.  After  graduating top of my class,
when taking the Veterinary Technician National Board Exam, I am currently enrolled
in a BA program for Veterinary Medical Technology.  My ambition is to be an Anesthesia Specialist for small animals.

With three years in the vet tech business in this community I am excited to be part of North Star Hospital.  The newly designed surgery and exam rooms makes it possible for the best experience  and care here for you and your pet. 

This is my Siberian Husky "Hurley'.  He likes coming to work with me. His other talent, among many, is to sing along sometimes when I'm playing my guitar.  He's pretty good.  Amy           

Carolyn Hornbeck   Large Animal Assistant

  They are amazing creatures that need daily special care because they are loving and
caring in return.  I have been with North Star and Doc Kim for over twelve years and in the field animal care for almost twenty.  Every animal that needs my help, gets my full attention and experience.

I also have enjoyed teaching Western riding as well in the past.  Having North Star Equine Stables right next door is a big part of
my work day.

My entire family rides. We enjoy the opportunity to ride and
camp in the mountains nearby.  Horse shows and local events
always brings fun gatherings for the community at North Star.
                    Stop in soon,   Carolyn



  Cindy Love    Veterinary Assistant

     I just simply love animals.  They need our help and care and I am happy to
  give it to them.  I have worked with Rescue Rehab in the past and know
  how crucial fast and reliable care can be.

 
  It has been exciting to work with Kim, Carolyn and
  Rob
for almost two years and see this wonderful new
  hospital. We were growing when we were in the first
  location and it is great to be part of the expansion.

  Along with my dogs "Bo" the Boxer and "Skeeter"
  my Chihuahua, I enjoy riding with my husband and
  three children. Thank you for visiting our web site.
  See you at the hospital,   Cindy
