Dr. Stegemoller’s dream of becoming a veterinarian started as a little girl. Originally from southern Indiana, her love of animals, especially horses, led her to Murray State University where she earned her B.S. in Agriculture in 2009. She graduated from Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2013 and headed to Colorado to complete a mixed animal veterinary internship at an AAHA hospital. She and her husband spent almost 3 years in the Rocky Mountains before returning to Indiana.  She transitioned into small animal practice and launched the clinic there into being Fear Free Certified. Dr. Stegemoller’s passion is practicing the best Fear Free medicine and surgery, and she has a special interest in dentistry and pain management. She enjoys working with senior patients; helping them to enjoy a great quality of life with their families.

In her time away from practice, Dr. Stegemoller enjoys life with her husband, Derek, and toddler, Charlotte. Their family is completed with their dogs, Jethro and Junie. Dr. Stegemoller is an avid runner and their whole family loves the outdoors.  The Stegemoller’s are excited to become a part of the Sandpoint community and are looking forward to new adventures in North Idaho!
