Her Take on Veterinary Medicine

She strives to provide comprehensive care for all dog and cat life stages. She enjoys establishing relationships with clients so that they can actively participate in the decision making process regarding the health of their pets. During her career as a veterinarian, she has developed a special interest in managing cancer patients. She is also currently pursuing further study in Veterinary Ultrasound.

Life at Home

Dr. Bruns enjoys a busy lifestyle balancing her career and family, which consists of her husband, Mark, and their 4 children, Alex, Andy, Ethan, and Emily. As she and her husband are originally from Fort Wayne, they both have strong ties to the community. She takes great pleasure in attending sporting events for her sons or just hanging out with her daughter. In her free time, she likes to go running with her dog Daisy, who must also share the limelight with Gully, an English Springer Spaniel, and cats, Newman, Zoey, and Zelda. Ultimately, Dr. Bruns feels that the loving support, strength, and humor of her family has helped her establish a successful career at the Pine Valley Veterinary Clinic
