Dr. Kristen Grove is originally from Illinois. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Northern Iowa, where she received her Bachelor's in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Throughout her undergraduate program, she continued to develop a passion for veterinary medicine while working at a local small animal hospital. Dr. Grove finally needed to escape the cold weather and chose to come to our sunny state of Arizona to attend Midwestern University and graduated in 2023. Her professional interests include anesthesiology and preventative medicine. When she is not ensuring the comfort of our furry friends, she enjoys staying active by exercising and hiking with her husband and dog, Bowser. She also loves to unwind by reading with her two cats, Ludwig and Lemmy, cuddled up by her side.
