Veterinarian
Hi, I'm Dr. Vandenheuvel (you may know me as Dr. Van!) from Animal Oasis of the Rockies. I grew up in the beautiful beach town of Santa Cruz, California. Although it’s a popular coastal spot, people are often surprised to learn that I’m not a fan of the beach and have a fear of sharks. I won’t go into the water past my knees!
I received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Western University of Health Sciences Veterinary School.
My love for animals and my desire to serve my community are what led me to become a veterinarian. I wanted to be an important member of my community, helping to ensure the health and happiness of pets and their owners. Being a veterinarian allows me to fulfill this goal every day.
