Since taking the helm, she has been committed to providing exceptional, compassionate care to pets and their families in the community. She graduated from Ohio State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2016, and then completed a private practice internship in Cincinnati and Springfield, Ohio.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Hollenbach is a proud wife to her husband, Jason, an Army veteran and deputy sheriff, and a loving mother to their two children, Julia and Jonah.
