Our Doctors
Dr. Scot Hodkiewicz
 |
Dr. Scot earned his
veterinary degree from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 1993,
finishing top in his class. After
college, he and Dr. Mona were married and began practicing at a mixed animal
practice in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. His
interests include orthopedic surgery,
laprascopic/arthroscopic surgery including spays, stomach-tacking to prevent
Gastric Dilation-Volvulus (GDV), bladder stone removal, Osteochondrosis Desicans
(OCD) surgery and
ultrasonography . "I have fixed
bones on everything from 6 weeks old puppies to 200 lb. calves.
I enjoy the challenge of surgery and the satisfaction of
seeing animals that came in battered and broken, chasing a frisbee a few
months later." Dr. Scot
developed an interest in ultrasonography during veterinary school and was
published in a study using ultrasound for umbilical problems. "The ultrasound allows us to look inside the abdomen where, in the
past, surgery would have had to be performed.
We can also see how the heart is working (echocardiography) and measure
chamber size and contractions." |

Dr.
Mona graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1994 earning
awards for outstanding technical skills. She
also worked in Wisconsin Dells, WI. Her
special interests include preventative and internal medicine. She performs many of the technical procedures that require a sensitive

Dr. Welch

Dr. Welch is a graduate of University of Illinois. He has
a special interest in oncology (cancer) surgery and chemotherapy. We now
have the ability to treat many cancers without the inconvenience and cost of
referring to a university. Dr. Welch provides the most current treatment
protocols including prognosis and cost. These chemotherapy protocols are
much easier on the pet than in previous years
and so have become good options for many animals bringing added time with good
quality of life. Dr. Welch also shares a strong interest in orthopedic
surgery and care.
