Dr. Brauer was an animal-loving child with dogs, birds, and hamsters; thus, she isn’t surprised when people bring in every type of furry animal to her. She attended undergraduate and veterinary school in her home state at the University of Illinois where she met her husband who is also a veterinarian. She has been practicing at this hospital for many years and enjoys the long-term relationships and trust she has built with clients. She feels gratitude that owners have trusted her as she helps them and their many pets. Outside of work, Dr. Brauer enjoys traveling, hiking, and birding with her husband and has been an avid yoga practitioner for over 10 years.
