About Us
Kristie Ponce, D.V.M.
Dr. Ponce was four years old when she first learned that there were doctors that only worked on animals, and immediately decided that she would be a veterinarian some day. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine in 2000, and has diligently pursued her main interests in diagnostic ultrasound, soft tissue surgery, and the challenge of internal medicine. Dr. Ponce purchased the Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic of Wisconsin Rapids with a goal of providing the community with high quality veterinary care at an affordable price.
Karen Johnson, D.V.M.
