Our Staff

We are thankful for the highly-qualified staff at our hospital.

They are well-trained individuals with a strong sense of compassion for all animals and a desire to serve our clients and the needs of their pets.

Teresa Brennan, CVT

Teresa is a graduate from Ridgewater College with a degree from their Veterinary Technician program. It is easy to remember her difficult first day on the job because it was 9/11/2001. Teresa has varied interests--from attending monster truck rallies to playing the flute. We depend on her to know everything about everything at LVH. She grew up in the Saint Paul area and now lives near the clinic. Teresa and her husband, Nick, have three sons, Andy, Aydin and Ashton and a daughter, Adelaide. They also have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Gideon.

Jess Webb

We are very happy that Jess has come back! She originally began working at Lakeland Veterinary Hospital in May 2000, with a break to attend to a growing family. Jess and her family are rugged Wisconsinites who enjoy hunting, fishing, and archery. In addition, Jess is a part-time fitness and strength instructor so fractious cats and strong dogs have met their match!

Pixel Johnson

Pixel is the honorary canine member of our staff. Although Pixel is enjoying her retirement she remains the honorary mascot at Lakeland Veterinary Hospital.

Courtney Jacks, CVT

Courtney joined us in January, 2009. She is a home-grown girl, raised in the St. Croix Valley and graduated from Stillwater High School. She received her Veterinary Technician degree from Globe College. Courtney enjoys nature and wildlife, reading, and volleyball. She shares her life with husband, Shane, and daughter, Kaela, furry felines named Bermie, Biskit, Kix, and Penny, and a fox red Lab named Reggie.

Esther Robertson

Esther works here as the hospital's assistant. She hopes to continue her education and become a veterinary technician after her husband, Christian, attends medical school. In their spare time Esther and Christian live in Saint Paul with their adopted Maltipoos, Abita and Archie. In their spare time they love to hike, camp and be outdoors.

Cheryl Dix

We are happy to welcome Cheryl as our new receptionist! We appreciate Cheryl's calm, gentle demeanor which sets the tone for a low-stress experience at Lakeland Veterinary Hospital. Cheryl and her husband, Stu, live in Wisconsin and are recent empty-nesters after launching the last of three wonderful children. It's a good thing their dog, Ella, is still available for love and companionship. When Cheryl is not at work, she might be found playing the keyboard or bass at church, gardening, or hiking in favorite destinations such as Glacier National Park. Please come by and introduce yourself to Cheryl!

Sue Mondloch, CVT

Sue is our part-time technician who originally started working at LVH full-time in 1987. She hails from Wisconsin but now resides in Minnesota with her husband, Joe, and a lot of Labrador Retrievers. She breeds and trains Labs for hunting retrieval and field-trial competition. Sue is an accomplished hunting guide and has won top honors (and a humongous trophy) at the annual field competition at Wild Wings Game Farm. Sue is a great source for breeding, training, and hunting information.
