👏🏼❤️Congratulations Dr. Gearhart! ❤️👏🏼

We are thrilled to congratulate Dr. Angie Gearhart on receiving the 2024 Iowa Veterinary Medical Association (IVMA) Veterinarian of the Year Award! This prestigious recognition honors her outstanding contributions to advancing veterinary medicine in various areas, including education, research, practice, and regulatory service.

Dr. Gearhart shared, “I am deeply touched and humbled to have received this award. After 25 years as a veterinarian, my love for this profession remains as strong as ever, and I am profoundly grateful for the path I chose so many years ago. This recognition is particularly meaningful to me as someone who took a step back from full-time practice to focus on raising my children when they were young. My hope is that I can share with my fellow colleagues, especially the young women entering the field, that it is possible to balance a fulfilling career as a veterinarian with the joys and responsibilities of motherhood. You can succeed in both your professional and personal life, and this award reaffirms that for me.”

Dr. Gearhart joined MVP in November 2023, practicing at Waukee-Clive Veterinary Clinic. A 1999 graduate of Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine, she brings a wealth of experience in primary care, emergency medicine, and integrative care. In 2017, she became a certified veterinary acupuncturist.

Congratulations, Dr. Gearhart, on this amazing achievement! We are so fortunate to have you on our team!

Did you know September is National Animal Pain Awareness Month?

Our pets can’t tell us when they’re hurting, so it’s up to us to recognize the signs. From limping to changes in behavior, even subtle shifts can indicate that your furry friend is in pain.

This month, let’s spread awareness about the importance of pain management in pets. Whether it’s arthritis, injury, or another condition, there are effective ways to help our animals live comfortably.

If you notice any signs of pain in your pet, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to provide the best care and ensure your beloved companions feel their best! 🐾
