  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.

  Rob and I continually strive to provide our client's pets
 
and horses with the best health and medical care in the
  area.  A seasoned staff and new state of the art facility
  confirms our
dedication to our longtime customers and
 
community
.  Our 24 Hour Emergency Care is
  an essential part of our practice. 

  Sincerely,  
Kim

   Facilities Manager / Large Animal Rescue / Owner

  Whatever I can do to make your time here efficient, safe
  and stress free, please ask. 

  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.

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

   Associate Veterinarian

  The human animal bond is such a powerful thing.  I like
  to inspire and develop that in my patients and clients.  
  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.   Julie
                                                            

  Amy Montoya        
   Registered Veterinary Technician  

   I have always loved working with animals. I like the
   many opportunities in a day to use my skills and
   training to educate owners how to help their pets live a
   long and healthy life. 
  
   I am excited to be part of North Star Hospital. The
   modern 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

   Large Animal Assistant / Office Manager

  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
  fifteen years and in the field of animal care for almost
  twenty.  Every animal that needs my help, gets my full
  attention and experience.

  My entire family rides. We enjoy the opportunity to
  ride and camp in the mountains nearby.   This is Tessa
  my riding buddy.    Carolyn

  Veterinary Assistant / Front Desk Manager


  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.
 
  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.

   Kelly Jernigan
    Groomer and PT Reception

   I am a groomer and part time receptionist here at North Star.  I have been part
    of the team since this summer.  Making the animals as pretty as I can is what inspires
    me the most.  I have always loved animals and they have always gravitated to me.  They
    all have special personalities. With care  and professional grooming in a comfortable
    setting,  I can bring out the best in each of them. It's great to feel and look pretty.

    I am the proud Mother of a huge grey cat called "Ka'Mere" and a miniature Pinscher
    called "Minnie". Along with a bird, fish, frogs and turtles they each have special
    meaning to me and I love everyone of them.

    My goal is give them the best life I can provide.  Minnie loves it when we go
    fishing or on long walks.   I look forward to the opportunity to groom your
    baby and make you both happy.   Kelly
                                                                                                 

   Margaret Brown
   Veterinary Assistant / Reception

   
I am a small/large animal technician and receptionist at North Star Veterinary Hospital.
    The reason I enjoy working here so much is that no two days are ever the same.  I enjoy
    meeting new people and learning more about veterinary medicine every day.  I pride
    myself in being the type of person that can get along with anyone regardless of the
    situation and will step forward to assist with any task.  I have been working here for a little
    over a year and I am so happy to have such a rewarding job.

    I have two great kids that are my life when I am not at work.   My daughter and I enjoy
    participating in barrel racing and trail riding together. My son, myself and my husband
    enjoy bird hunting with our dogs.  Together as a family we participate in horseback riding in
    parades and trail riding.   Margaret

    I grew up on the outer banks of north Carolina. Everyone says k.ew everyone due to
    the island is small. I grew up helping with the round up of the wild ponies.  One of
    my many first animal jobs was working for a thoroughbred breeding farm and then
    worked as a horse trail guide for taking tourists out on trail rides I to the ocean. I'm
    the third the of 4 siblings.   My hobbies in life riding horses, fishing, and taking care
    of my 5 dogs. My best dog friend is Jax the jack Russell with me in my photo.

    I am the hospitals dog whisperer. I like to communicate with the dogs and be their
    camp counselor while they are here at NSVH.  A rescue dog named Aleigha now has
    come out of her shell due to some one on one time talking with her and carrying on
    conversations.

    From big dog to little dog to the horses I enjoy connecting with them all.
