Dr. Melissa Schochenmaier enjoys the wide variety of cases she sees through the Veterinary Emergency Hospital. She has almost 20 years of experience being a veterinarian and appreciates how no two days are the same. Dr. Schochenmaier received her Bachelors in Biology from Southwest State University in Marshall, MN and then went on to complete her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree through Iowa State University. 

She knew this profession was for her for the interaction of science and medicine and the ability to advocate for her furry patients. Outside of All City, Dr. Schochenmaier enjoys cooking, reading, and being with friends. You will often find her and her family outside gardening and going for walks with their rescue dog, Jasper!
