About

Dr. Hopp is a Wisconsin native. She has a BA with Honors in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She earned her DVM from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. Additionally, she graduated from the Chi Institute of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine as a certified veterinary acupuncturist (CVA) and the Canine Rehabilitation Institute as a certified canine rehabilitation therapist (CCRT). She also maintains a Fear Free Practitioner certification (FFCP).

Dr. Hopp strives to ensure owners are educated and involved in their pet’s care at home and in the clinic. Her professional interests include integration of Western and Eastern medicine in pain management, geriatric care and palliative medicine, and managing patients with multiple health conditions (both in the emergency room and the rehab space). She works closely with the Neurology and Surgery departments to manage patients with spinal cord disorders and various musculoskeletal conditions. Helping a patient overcome their limitations to live happy and pain-free is the most rewarding part of her career!

Outside of work, she can be found spending time with her family, cooking, gardening, or enjoying Wisconsin’s abundance of lakes and breweries.
