Dr Dean has interests in all aspects of small animal
medicine.  This includes dogs and cats, as well as birds,
reptiles, rodents, ferrets and rabbits (and other exotic
species).  She enjoys diagnostic medicine (solving
complicated medical cases,  especially) and surgery of all
species. Over the past few years, she has devoted much
time in personal study and continuing education to refine
her skills in these areas.
Dr. Dean believes strongly in developing close
relationships with her patients and "their people".  She
offers thorough, quality medical care for all species of
companion animals and has compassion and
understanding for their owners.  She promotes client
education regarding the proper care of animals,
especially in the case of exotic pets, where many medical
problems are caused by improper nutrition and
husbandry.
Some of her favorite non-veterinary past-times include
spending time with her two daughters and her husband,
playing music (guitar and hammered dulcimer), walking in
the mountains,  singing, riding horses, gardening,  oil
painting,caring for her chickens,cats, dogs, birds, etc, etc,
and reading.
