Our Veterinary Team

Dr. Michaela Nordheim is delighted to contribute her skills and passion in veterinary medicine to the Paws, Claws, and Hooves Veterinary Center team as an associate veterinarian. She graduated with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Iowa State University in 2021. Dr. Nordheim is a member of the Academy of Veterinary Consultants and on the Program Committee. She has a particular interest in farm animal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and dentistry for small and large animals. She prides herself in providing the best medical care and surgical services possible for both small and large animal clients. Her family includes a horse and two Labrador retrievers: one dog is being trained as a hunting dog, and the other dog has earned her retirement. In addition to spending time with her critters, she enjoys reading books, watching movies, playing computer games, playing D&D with her husband, and working on her family farm outside of Walla Walla. She also enjoys riding her QH mare Saxa on trail rides and at Eventing Competitions. A fun fact about Dr. Nordheim is she is a 3-time competitor at the National Make It With Wool Contest and enjoys utilizing wool as a material in sewing projects.
