Dr. Wheaton is a Colorado native and the son of a veterinarian. He has been around veterinary medicine almost his entire life, often observing medical procedures and helping out around his dad’s clinic in rural eastern Colorado. After he served in the US Navy onboard the USS Carl Vinson, Dr. Wheaton earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Nuclear Engineering at Excelsior University. Knowing that his real passion was in veterinary medicine, he enrolled in Colorado State University’s Veterinary Medicine program and earned his DVM degree in 2015. His main areas of interest are in veterinary acupuncture, small animal surgery, and small animal dentistry. When he is not in the office helping animals, he enjoys fly fishing, snowboarding, playing ice hockey, and spending time with his daughter. Dr. Wheaton has a mischievous but loving beagle (Porter) at home.

Born in a rural town near Rockford, Illinois, Dr. Pudalov was exposed to veterinary medicine as his father had a general animal practice in Illinois.   For medical reasons his Dad and family moved back to Long Island, NY where he had family nearby.  He started a small animal practice which Dr. P worked in and eventually took over.  Dr. P. got his BS in Microbiology at Colorado State University, his High School teaching certificate from University of Illinois, taught biology, and finally received his DVM at U of I.

Dr. Wilson joined our team June of 2022.  Dr. Wilson grew up in Southern Louisiana, and has always loved animals (especially cats and horses), learning foreign languages, reading books, sitting with nature, and dream about traveling to outer space.  After receiving my Bachelor’s in Animal Science and a Minor in French at Louisiana Tech University, she spent a year teaching English in France before attending and graduating with her DVM from Louisiana State University in 2013. Her favorite part about vet school was learning ultrasound.  After graduating, she practiced small animal medicine in New Orleans, spending 3 years in emergency medicine.  As her family grew, she moved on to general practice for the past 6 years.  Over the years, she has enjoyed further developing her skills in ultrasound, and has found she is particularly passionate about feline and senior medicine, emergency medical procedures, and chronic medical diseases.
