WHO AM I?  

OK, to tell you a little bit about me.  I need to share with you, that this is a clinic owned by Dr. Donna Rizzo.  She graduated from ISU vet college in 1989, and started as a vet here, two weeks later.  Dr.Rizzo loves all the kids  she sees, and most of them love her,too.  If you have been here, you know that you can tell me and ask me anything about your kids, I will answer.  Sometimes people are sorry they asked, but I do NOT lie.  I am the owner of two golden retrievers, and 3 cats.   My dogs always visit the clinic, and some days I think they want to live here, but they certainly do live with me at my home.  I live in Huxley, on an acreage, it is actually closer to my clinic than my home in Ames was.  I only do small animal medicine, and although I did touch a few goats and pigs when I started, I refer people to vets that know these creatures now.  I have also studied chiropractic care on animals.  I only practice on small animals, I do alright, but I honestly feel I am not as good of a chiropractor as I am a vet.  As a vet, you are in a profession that is always learning, that is honestly, why I love it, and could never see myself not doing it.   

If you have any questions about me or my staff, just ask, I am always willing to talk.
