Dr. Lisa Sell
Dr. Sell grew up near White Bear Lake and knew she wanted to be a veterinarian when she was eleven years old. She graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 1991. She has lived and practiced in the St. Michael-Albertville area since then. She very much enjoys the long-term relationships that she has established with clients and the satisfaction that comes from providing care from a pet’s first exam throughout its entire life. Her special practice interests are preventive health care, internal medicine, and geriatric medicine. Her husband is also a veterinarian, with his own large-animal practice. They live on a farm and share their very busy life with three children, four cats, a working Border Collie, and a flock of 100+ sheep.
Dr. Kristine Reid
Growing up in Buffalo with her dogs and a paint horse named Lady, Dr. Reid always knew she would be a veterinarian. Once she graduated with an undergraduate degree in Animal Science from the University of Minnesota in the spring of 1998, she was accepted into their Veterinary Medicine program in the fall and focused on small animal and equine medicine. She completed her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree in May of 2002 and since then, has enjoyed the challenging and varied internal medicine, surgery and dentistry opportunities that a small animal practice provides. She most appreciates developing strong relationships with pets and their loving families. She has a soft spot for rescued senior pets, hedgehogs and a love for herding dogs. When Dr. Reid is not at the clinic caring for her patients she can be found boating on the lake, hiking and camping, traveling, or home in her flower gardens, baking or reading a great book. Dr. Reid and her husband Mike feel lucky to share their home with their hound mix Kona, Blue Heeler Gordie, and their senior dog Boomer.
