Meet Our Team
Dr. Rudd Nelson
Led by Dr. Rudd Nelson, a native Iowan with extensive experience in both routine and emergency care, our team consists of dedicated veterinarians and passionate support staff. Each member of our staff is committed to continual professional development to stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine.
Dr. Sarah Gingerich
Dr. Sarah Gingerich earned her bachelor’s degree in Biology from Smith College in Northampton, MA, then went on to complete her doctorate of veterinary medicine at Purdue University. After graduating from vet school in 2005, Dr. Gingerich practiced in Chicago and Iowa City. After a few years practicing in northern Indiana, Dr. Gingerich is happy to be back in the Iowa City area.
Dr. Gingerich spent many years of her career working in emergency medicine and is excited to be back in general practice, where she can develop lasting relationships with her clients and their pets. Outside of work, Dr. Gingerich enjoys spending time with her husband, two children, and their pets. She enjoys being active-- taking Orangetheory classes and long walks with her dogs. Dr. Gingerich loves cooking, reading books and listening to podcasts.
Aubrey-head receptionist
Aubrey is married and the proud mom of three energetic boys. Her family also includes a beloved dog and two cats who keep life fun and full of love. Having worked in veterinary hospitals on and off over the years, Aubrey has truly found her home at Goosetown Animal Hospital. She enjoys helping clients schedule appointments, answering questions, and ensuring every visit starts with a warm welcome. Aubrey takes pride in being the first friendly face clients see and in setting the tone for the compassionate care they can expect from the Goosetown team.
Felicity
Felicity moved from Green Bay, Wisconsin, almost four years ago to Iowa City with a goal to earn a degree in Biomedical Engineering on the pre-vet track. She is joined by her two Italian Greyhounds, who have inspired her love for animals and continue to motivate her career path.
Felicity’s favorite part of her role at Goosetown Animal Hospital is building relationships with clients and getting to know their pets. She also helps manage a few of the hospital’s social media pages, sharing updates and stories that highlight the care and compassion of the Goosetown team.
