Dr. Kailie Tronson

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a veterinarian. I have always been drawn to animals and have cherished the special bond that we have with our pets. Much of my childhood was spent playing board games with our dogs (only the dogs that refrained from chewing on the dice or cards were allowed to play, however) and wheedling my parents into letting me take home a zoo’s worth of creatures as pets (geckos, hermit crabs, parakeets, ducklings, cats, and a large assortment of fish to name a few).I was born and raised in Bend and I always knew I wanted to make it back to Central Oregon after college. Family is very important to me and I am so lucky to be able to live close to the people I love.
