With a passion for science, Dr. Rosenkranz went on to pursue her dream of becoming a veterinarian, attending University of Minnesota Veterinary College, where she graduated in 1997.
After completing her veterinary studies, Dr. Rosenkranz embarked on her professional career. She worked in Twin Cities for 8 years, developing a wealth of experience in small animal medicine. In 2006, Dr. Rosenkranz and her family made a significant life style change when they decided to move to Washington State, where they sought new opportunities and adventures.
Once in Washington, Dr. Rosenkranz joined a small animal hospital, serving the local community for an impressive 13 years.

Her compassionate approach and commitment to ongoing learning allow her to provide the best possible care for her patients, addressing complex medical issues with empathy and precision.
In 2013, Dr. Rosenkranz and her husband, Gary, made the beautiful North Bend area their home. They quickly fell in love with the stunning landscapes of the the valley and found a deep sense of belonging in the close-knit community. Their home is shared with a spirited rescue terrier named Monkey (pictured), and a charming rescue cat named Dewey, who together make their household lively and full of joy.
