Her goal is to be able to provide advanced surgical procedures and medical treatments for animals and their owners at an affordable price.

Dr. Hummel has also received certification from Vet Stem in stem cell regenerative medicine. She is excited about the opportunities that integrative veterinary medicine can bring to her canine and feline patients.

When she is not working, she enjoys spending time chasing her daughter Quinn and being surrounded by her pets – especially her 140 lb bloodhound, Duke.
