Dr. Pauline Schroeder Amoth
We are thrilled to welcome our newest veterinarian, Dr. Pauline Schroeder Amoth, to the GVAH team! Dr. Pauline relocated here from Wisconsin with her beloved cat, Little Grey (aka Hobo), and her 3 horses; Hawk, a Leopard Appaloosa, and Josie & Diamond, both Percherons.
A graduate of the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Wisconsin in 2001, Dr. Pauline brings a wealth of clinic experience, having worked for the past 18 years as a veterinarian. Her extensive knowledge, attention to detail, and practical approach to animal care make her the perfect addition to GVAH. When not in the office, Dr. Pauline enjoys ice fishing with her husband and riding her horses.
