Hello, my name is Dr. Patty Dahlke. I graduated from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 1994. I worked for a year after graduation at the Albany Veterinary Clinic in Albany, Minnesota. I moved to Glencoe and began working with the Glencoe Veterinary Clinic team in 1995. I enjoy working with the large animal patients in our area.

My family and I enjoy a variety of animals ranging from a horse to rabbits. We own a small beef herd and have a few chickens. One Golden Retriever/Yellow Lab ‘puppy’, a donkey and two cats round out our happy family!

I enjoy working with a variety of patients – both large & small animals. On the large animal side, I really like working with bovine ultrasound. I enjoy working alongside farmers and getting to know them and their operations. On the small animal side, I love doing laser surgery. I also am passionate about dentistry. I enjoy seeing the variety of cats and dogs and working with their owners. It’s my goal that each patient and client gets my complete medical attention and that clients feel free to ask all their questions concerning their animal’s health. I enjoy the challenges and variety that each day brings.

Hi, I am Dr. Paula Frick. I am originally from Nebraska and obtained my veterinary degree from the University of Liverpool, England in 2000.

I have been with Glencoe Veterinary Clinic team since September 2011. I spend a greater majority of my time doing small animal medicine and surgery, which I thoroughly enjoy. My favorite day to day activity is internal medicine, where I get the challenge of trying to figure out what is wrong with a patient that can not talk to me. My favorite large animal species is sheep and the challenges they present.

I live in rural Hutchinson with my husband and two children. We are very active in 4-H, which takes up most of our spare time. We have a herd of Shorthorn cattle, Boer meat goats, a flock of Dorset sheep, a few chickens, 1 4-H pig named Peaches, a dog and a handful of farm cats. If I have any spare time I enjoy reading and needlepoint.

Hi, my name is Brenda, and animals have always been my happy place and true passion in life. There’s nothing like an animal’s love to get you through the toughest days and be your happy sidekick on the good ones! They really are man’s/woman’s best friends! I have been a receptionist since my early 20s and enjoy assisting others. I have one guinea pig named Cinderella, five cats (Junior, Binx, Sushi, Tippy, and Chubbs), and three dogs that are my furry children—Maddie (Boston Terrier mix), Nala (Pomeranian), and Matilda (Bernese Mountain Dog). I also have chickens, ducks, and even a 50-gallon fish tank with an assortment of fish! I live in Plato with my two sons, ages 11 and 15, who keep me very busy with sports! In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing volleyball, finding the best donuts in town, and going on adventures with my children.

Hello, my name is Ashley! I joined the Glencoe Veterinary Clinic Team in October of 2022 as a Customer Care Specialist. I’m from Glencoe and live here with my 3 children, our companion dog Nugget, and our 2 cats, Miss Muffin and Daisy. I’ve always had a passion for spending time with animals and helping them since childhood. I’ve truly enjoyed ensuring our pet parents get the help needed for their fur babies since joining the team and I look forward to continuing to do so! In my spare time, during the warmer months, you’ll find me outdoors enjoying nature, camping, hiking, kayaking, exploring and picnicking with my children!

Hello, my name is Christian. I graduated from Argosy University in 2013 with an A.A.S. degree in Veterinary Technology. I have been with the Glencoe Veterinary Clinic team since April 2013 and have loved every minute of it!

I currently live in Lester Prairie with my cats Xander & Syvel. In my spare time I enjoy bowling, swimming, playing co-ed softball and volleyball. My favorite part of working in veterinary medicine is that every day is different, and I’m always learning something new.
