1st Pet welcomes Dr. Heather Lindgren!

We would like to introduce one of our newest doctors, Dr. Heather Lindgren. Dr. Lindgren joined our team at 1^st Pet five months ago and is works out of our Mesa location.  Dr. Lindgren started working in a restaurant at 16 years old and considered acquiring a major in dance, but then developed a desire to become an equine ambulatory veterinarian.  So, off to vet school she went!  After graduation, she began working at a mixed animal practice due to her love for horses, but after a year she switched over to small animal practice where she has remained for the last nine years – and now she is here with us at 1^st Pet! 

Dr. Lindgren loves doing surgery of all types, but especially wound care.  The cases that seem to be the most rewarding for her is when a surgery or medical treatment of a problem helps pets live longer, more comfortable and happy.  She says “It is nice to know that your expertise and advice has had such a positive impact on the lives of pets as well as on the lives of people.”  And that nicely summarizes why we do what we do here at 1^st Pet! 

When she is not at work, Dr. Lindgren spends time with her husband of 8 years and her 16 month old son whom she describes as the love of her life!  She loves being a mother and aunt to her nieces and nephews as she comes from a large family with many brothers and sisters. Her family is rounded out with her three dogs - a boxer, Boston terrier, and French bulldog. 

We are so happy to have Dr. Lindgren on our Team here at 1^st Pet!  And we know you will be too!
