Dr. Alison Muehrcke has been an Associate Veterinarian with VCA West Suburban Veterinary Hospital since 2008. She grew up in Oakbrook, IL, attending Hinsdale Central High School, and returned to the area after receiving her Bachelor’s Degree from Dartmouth College in 2002 and her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007.

Dr. Muehrcke is passionate about Fear Free and low stress handling  and has professional interests in Internal Medicine and complex case management. She enjoys broadening her horizons with each patient that she sees and every specialty consult and continued education course that she pursues. She is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association as well as the Veterinary Information Network.

When Dr. Muehrcke is not working, she and her fiancé enjoy traveling, art, movies and television, and spending time with family. They currently have a lovely husky mix named Solo, a megalomaniac cat named Piper, and more fish/shrimp/snails than they can count (or name). There are definitely more pets on the horizon, and if anyone knows of a wonderful Border Terrier breeder please let her know!
