Karen  Suess,  Certified  Veterinary  Technician  /  Nurse:

Hi, my name is Karen; I am one of the Certified Veterinary Technicians / Nurses here at the Wrightstown Veterinary Clinic. I attended Madison Area Technical College and received my veterinary technician degree in 1994. Shortly after graduating I passed the Wisconsin Certification exam to become a Certified Veterinary Technician. I am an active member of the Wisconsin Veterinary Technician Association (WVTA), along with being a member of the National Veterinary Technician Association (NVTA). In addition to assisting in surgery, my interests include caring for sick and injured animals. I look forward to helping our clients and their pets. In addition to my Veterinary Technician duties, I am the clinic handy women, repairing any thing from broken plumbing to changing the light bulbs in the cathedral ceiling in the reception area.

I reside in the Brillion area along with my husband Rob, our 2 sons (Tyler & Derek), Corgi (Corky), and a domestic shorthair cat (PD) and hamster (Bowler). For fun I enjoy fishing, hunting, camping, and spending time with my family.
