They also enjoy little getaways to Galena, IL and Door County, WI. Their family includes their two daughters, Lucy and Leah, and a cat named Calvin.
“The joy I receive from practicing veterinary medicine has far exceeded my expectations. I am constantly challenged and rewarded by the interactions I have with my clients and their pets.” Dr. Reed admits, “I think veterinary medicine is the perfect career for me. It’s the cat’s meow!”
