Dr. Kara Nelsen, DVM, MPH worked to open Allied Emergency Veterinary Services in Eau Claire, Hudson, and most recently Minneapolis. Dr. Nelsen wanted to open an employee owned Emergency Hospital “so that people feel empowered and find emergency room medicine to be a career-length decision. Working long hours, overnight, and weekend, and holidays hours, are difficult for most people – and come with sacrifice – and we feel the employees deserve to have ownership in where they work ... when they work so hard.” Dr. Nelsen Graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 and also holds a Masters in Public Health. She has been working in Veterinary Medicine for over 20 years.

Dr. Lisa Reiter, DVM, Diplomate ACVD finds treating and managing chronic otitis, utilizing video-otoscopy and deep ear lavage especially gratifying. She finds great satisfaction in diagnosing and managing environmental allergies, including performing allergy tests and formulating immunotherapy (allergy shots). Dr. Reiter is experienced in laser surgery, which she favors because it can remove a variety of skin and ear tumors, often without the need for full anesthesia. She received her DVM from the Ohio State University and her Diplomate in 2009 from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Reiter served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine from 2013-2016. She now works at BluePearl Specialty and Emergency Hospital in Arden Hills.
