We are SO excited to welcome Dr. Hartman to our veterinary team! Some of you may even recognize her! She worked with us as a veterinary assistant while attending ISU College of Veterinary Medicine. We loved having her as part of the Prairie View family then, and we’re thrilled to have her back as a veterinarian! 🩺🐶🐱

Dr. Hartman has special interests in internal medicine, preventative care, and dentistry and is Fear Free trained, sharing our commitment to providing compassionate, high-quality care while making visits as comfortable and stress-free as possible for our patients.

Outside of work, Dr. Hartman enjoys spending time with her German Shepherd, Maru, along with drawing, hiking, traveling, and trying new restaurants.

Pet insurance can be one way to help prepare for the unexpected. Take a look at the real costs of caring for our four-legged family member, and why planning ahead can make a difference.
