“Since last fall, we have been educating our patients about the value of transitioning our practice to an overall wellness and preventative approach to veterinary medicine”, notes Dr. Holman. “Dr. Krahn’s special interest and experience in veterinary dental care will be an asset to our program. Dental care can often be overlooked until it becomes painful or harmful to your pet, but we are confident that our patients will benefit from having her experience in assisting them in taking a pro-active approach in caring for the dental needs of their pets -- our patients.”

Dr. Parker has practiced and is experienced in all aspects of veterinary medicine and is an ideal doctor to support the practice’s wellness and preventative care program. “She’s kind and compassionate, two qualities that every client looks for in a doctor”, highlights Dr. Holman. “She loves interacting with clients and their pets and she values the relationships that are formed.”
