     In February 2009 Dr. Sara Schultz joined the staff at Prairie State. Dr. Schultz is a local gal, having grown up in Oak Lawn. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from East Carolina University and subsequently graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in 2007. She lives with her husband Dan, a US Marine Corp veteran and who is  now a history teacher, in Mokena. Besides dogs and cats Dr. Schultz enjoys working with the little critters like guinea pigs, chinchillas, reptiles, small birds and various other  rodents! It is a real pleasure having her here with us now!

     Drs. Fleming and Schultz are assisted in the practice by Dawn, Liz, Tracy, Cathy, Paula, Krystle, Katie, Jose and Lauren and Theresa.   Lauren and T have actually dumped us for vet school  and come back occasionally to hang out when they have time off from their studies at U of I.
