Meet Our Veterinarians
Dr. Amanda Jondle
Veterinarian
Dr. Amanda Jondle graduated from Iowa State University Veterinary School and practices small animal medicine and surgery. She studied acupuncture for small animals and horses at the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine in Florida.
Growing up on a small farm, she knew that she wanted to work with animals from a very young age and now enjoys helping pets and educating pet owners in her own veterinary practice. Outside of work, Dr. Jondle and her husband enjoy renovating houses and have their hands full with four rescue dogs and three cats. They can occasionally be found fostering and rehabilitating all kinds of pets (several of them have been foster failures!). She also enjoys working out, traveling, reading, and riding horses.
Dr. Zachary Williams
Veterinarian
Dr. Zachary Williams graduated from Iowa State University and practices small and exotic animal medicine and surgery. He has gained experience with many different species through working with wildlife rescues and zoos, as well as several different hospitals.
Dr. Williams grew up in South Dakota in a family full of farmers and got an early start in veterinary medicine with his uncle Dr. Dayton Williams. It was his goal since he was young to work with as many types of animals as possible and now enjoys educating and helping people with cats, dogs, and exotic animals. In their free time, Dr. Williams and his family enjoy engaging with the community, trips to the zoo, and playing with their many animals at home.
DeAnn
Veterinary Technician
Hi everyone, I’m DeAnn! I graduated from tech school in 2016. I then moved to California and worked at an emergency clinic for 3 years. I have been back in Nebraska for 3 1/2 years working at a few different daily practices. I have enjoyed every clinic I’ve been at but have found my home in smaller practices where I’m able to connect with people and pets more. In my free time, I love spending time with my long hair chihuahua, Leo, and my 2 cats, Batty and Fergus. I also enjoy fishing with my dad and crafting with my mom whenever I get the chance. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and your furry family members!
Rachel
Licensed Veterinary Technician
Hi, my name is Rachel, I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician from Kansas and a 2015 graduate of the Brown Mackie College Veterinary Technology program. It brings me much joy to have the opportunity to be a part of so many animals’ lives. I always look forward to making a positive difference in the lives of not only the animals but their owners as well. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing softball and spending time outdoors with my family, friends, and of course my husky, Yeti.
John
Veterinary Assistant
Hey, I’m John. I’ve been an assistant for more than ten years. I love people and I’m obsessed with animals. You’ll usually see me running around the clinic trying to get everyone to smile. In my spare time, I spend a lot of time with more horses and my hands in the dirt gardening. There are tons of little creatures at home that need taking care of that call me dad.
Amber
I have been in the veterinary industry for 4 & 1/2 years and I am currently in school to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I pride myself in making sure every animal gets the best care possible when they walk through the doors. I have a soft spot in my heart for bully breeds, who are just misunderstood breeds. My favorite part of the job is honestly the chaos of it all. I love when the clinic is super busy and you have to learn how to juggle being fast and efficient but also stopping and slowing down to make sure each patient gets the love and care they need to make sure the animals know the vet isn’t a place they need to be scared of.
When I’m not working I like to be outside doing something with my hands, whether it be cleaning up the yard or maintaining my garden!
I can’t wait to meet all of you and your sweet pets!
