Minnesota Veterinary Neurology Minnesota Veterinary Neurology is redefining what excellence means for the neurologic patient

MVN HOSPITAL DOORS OPENING
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2025 Louis.

Dr. Missy Carpentier, DVM, DACVIM (Neurology) is proud and excited to bring Minnesota Veterinary Neurology to Columbus, MN. Minnesota Veterinary Neurology has been established to provide easy access to superior care for the small animal neurologic patients in Minnesota and the surrounding area. MVN will be the first and only neurology specific specialty hospital in Minnesota. Background:
Dr. Carpe

ntier graduated from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2011. Following veterinary school, she completed a rotating internship in Connecticut at VCA Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center. She then completed a one-year post doctoral fellowship in the Comparative Neurology Program at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Carpentier stayed in Missouri to pursue a three-year neurology/neurosurgery residency that was jointly performed at The University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine and Veterinary Specialty Services in St. At the completion of her residency, Dr. Carpentier received the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Resident Research Award for her work on 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Dog Spine in Hansen Type I Intervertebral Disk Disease. Dr. Carpentier has been practicing in the Twin Cities for 7 years. She enjoys all aspects of neurology, from the medical side of managing an epileptic patient to improving and maximize their quality of life, to the surgical side assisting a patient to be able to walk again and live a pain free life. Dr. Carpentier also brings the experience from the pet owners side, having to manage her own dogs with epilepsy, atlantoaxial luxation, and intervertebral disk disease (yes she takes her work home with her even when she tries not to!). Dr. Carpentier enjoys educating fellow veterinarians through her work as a neurology consultant for VETGirl and speaking across the country providing continuing education opportunities for the veterinary community.

So much to update! Construction continues both the exterior and interior! Exterior updates - they are working on finishing the grading for our turn lane (see the photo of the asphalt that had to be cut to install the new turn lane). More grading along the curbs, topsoil delivery, and the front entrance is being set up for walkway install next week.
Interior updates - more millwork installed, our rehab and gait analysis flooring is installed (and is wonderful!), window treatment install started, and we are doing some touch ups to the epoxy flooring because they didn't come out exactly how we want them for our patients. Luckily, the epoxy flooring installers completely understood our concerns and were ready to get it right for our patients! Did I mention the MRI is likely to be fully installed tonight!! 17 days and counting!

Dr. Carpentier has been asked to edit and update the chapter of Brachial Plexus Avulsion in Blackwell’s Five-Minute Veterinary Consult: Canine and Feline section. Seeing she was working on the topic, she figured she would share some insight here as well!
