About Us
Kristie Ponce, D.V.M.
Dr. Ponce knew she wanted to be a veterinarian when she was just four years old, right after discovering there were doctors who cared only for animals! She followed that dream all the way to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she earned her veterinary degree in 2000.
Her favorite parts of vet med include diagnostic ultrasound, soft tissue surgery, and the mental puzzle of internal medicine. She’s always up for a challenge if it means helping a pet feel their best!
When she purchased Animal Medical and Surgical Clinic of Wisconsin Rapids, her goal was simple: to provide high-quality, compassionate care for pets and the people who love them.
Outside the clinic, you’ll find Dr. Ponce spending time with her family (two- and four-legged alike), enjoying the outdoors, or recharging with a cozy, warm beverage.
Katie craig, D.V.M.
Dr. Katie Craig is excited to officially join our veterinary team after recently graduating from the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. While she’s new to the doctor role, she’s been part of our clinic family for over six years! During her school breaks, you may have seen her helping as a receptionist, assisting with patients, or learning alongside Dr. Ponce.
Dr. Katie has a special interest in soft tissue surgery and loves being able to improve pets’ comfort and quality of life through her work.
At home, her crew keeps her busy, including her beloved bichon, Ziggy, plus her cats, horse, chickens, and rabbit. When she’s not in the clinic, you can find Dr. Katie spending time with family, playing board games, camping, or enjoying the great outdoors.
We’re so proud to watch her step into this new role and can’t wait for you and your pets to meet her!
