Testimonials


From Veterinarians:

Dr. Nicki Distad DVM of Pioneer Animal Hospital in Mason City Iowa says:

" I selected Heartland Animal Hospital for Emma because I wanted her to have the one on one attention.  I was pleased with my experience at Heartland and even more pleased with the outcome of Emma's surgery.  She went from non-weight bearing before surgery to 50% weight bearing within 3 days of surgery and was pheasant hunting within 3 months!  I was so happy with my experieince there, when Emma injured her other knee, I took her right away to Heartland and got the same experience and results the second round. "

Dr. Anna Wildegrube DVM of Faribault Vet Clinic says:

" Dr. Katie is very good at knee surgery.  When I was student at the U of MN the head surgeon commented on how good my dog was doing after her TPLO at Heartland Animal Hospital.  Tally my dog has hip dysplasia so when she injured her knee, it had to be fixed in the best way possible.  I am very happy with her TPLO outcome, she has done well over the last 5 years."

Dr. Val  DVM says:

" When my Rottweiler Lyric came up lame on a back leg, I feared the worst.  Dr. Katie confirmed an ACL tear and suggested TPLO surgery.  I trusted her with Lyric she is like my child.  She did a great job, Lyric recovered rapidly and regained full function of her leg.  Thank you Dr. Katie"


From Satisfied Clients:

Janet  of Mankato says:

" The staff and Drs. at Heartland were so good with my Madison.  She is like my baby and could hardly walk when I brought her there.  Dr. Katie did a TTA on her knee and I couldn't believe how fast she recovered.  We are able to do everything we could before her injury.  Thank you Heartland for giving me my dog back!"

Adam  of Minneapolis says:

" Bella our Lab injured her leg when she was young and had a TPLO done by a surgeon in the Twin Cities and recovered well.  When she injured her knee on the other leg, we looked for a Vet that could do the TPLO or the new TTA.  We chose Heartland in Faribault and the experience there was so much better from the exam to the surgery, and follow-ups.  Bella seemed happier, recovered much faster, and even wanted to go  in the door for her rechecks!  We are very happy with our experieince at Heartland and would highly recommend them to anybody."
