Dr. Miranda Ford-Bonnema grew up in southwestern Minnesota and graduated from the University of Minnesota, College of Veterinary Medicine. She resides in the metro with her husband, Nathan (also a veterinarian), daughter (Mae), son (Henry), 2 dogs (Blue and Zucchini), 3 cats (Girl, Weasel, Fat fat), and a hoard of little exotic creatures (Sushi the bearded dragon, snakes – Rawmin and Sugar, and Axolotls – Unagi and Ponyo).
When she’s not lugging around her infant son or chauffeuring her horse aficionado daughter to and from the stable, she enjoys crafts, watching movies, and spending time in the great outdoors. She also has an unhealthy obsession with the TV show FRIENDS. Her bucket list includes kayaking with orcas, feeding baby pandas, and swimming with Manatees.
Dr. Ford is a member of the Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association. Her special veterinary interests include internal medicine, surgery, dermatology, and ultrasound. One of her favorite aspects of being a veterinarian is learning new techniques and therapies to better serve her patients’ needs. Although she loves getting visits from puppies and kittens, she has a deep love for geriatric pets.
