Dr. Leslie Wagner is a Winona native and is excited to be back in her hometown after 20 years away. She briefly worked here at Pet Medical Center as kennel staff after graduating High School. Dr. Wagner completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota. She then spent several years working as a certified veterinary technician prior to returning to the University of Minnesota for veterinary school.
After graduating from veterinary school in 2014, Dr. Wagner traveled to Sacramento, CA for a year-long small animal medical and surgical internship. She then moved back to the Midwest and worked in small animal general practice at two separate VCA hospitals (1 year in Wausau, WI and 7 years in Rochester, MN). Dr. Wagner has now come full circle and started working at Pet Medical Center as a veterinarian in 2023. Her interests include soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and urgent care. She thrives on the wide variety of cases seen in veterinary medicine and loves helping pets live their best lives.
Dr. Wagner enjoys family time with her husband and two young children. Their family is complemented by two cats and two horses. Her interests outside of work include reading (historical fiction and mysteries), traveling, and outdoor activities with family.
