Dr. Peitzmeier grew up in Fort Calhoun, NE. She has always loved working with animals and her dreams of being a surgeon were first documented in kindergarten with a drawing of performing surgery on a dog. Dr. Peitzmeier attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she competed on the equestrian team and received her Bachelor's in Animal Science. She then completed veterinary school through the University of Nebraska/Iowa State University program. After graduation, she completed an internship and surgery residency in Ocala, Florida, and became board certified in large animal surgery. She practiced in the California Central Valley for 8 years before she and her family decided to move back to the "Good Life." Dr. Peitzmeier's professional focus is on small animal emergency medicine, surgery, and equine surgery. Outside of work, she enjoys riding her horse, spending time with her family and dogs, Phoebe, Frank, and Chandler, working out and cheering on Husker football.
