Dr. Tanya Hoffman, DVM, CVSMT

Dr. Tanya Hoffman, DVM, CVSMT, is a co-owner of Creekside and has a special passion for integrative veterinary medicine, combining traditional medical care with complementary therapies to help pets live their healthiest lives. She believes veterinary medicine is about caring for both pets and the people who love them, and finds great joy in building lifelong relationships with families—from welcoming new puppies and kittens to supporting cherished senior pets through their golden years. Before opening Creekside, Dr. Hoffman spent 13 years teaching veterinary technician students at Madison College and is now honored to work alongside several former students as colleagues. She lives near New Glarus with her husband, two sons, Aspen the Golden Retriever, Millie the Lab/Golden mix who is learning to be a bird dog, and Ben, her orange tabby cat. She fell in love with the Cross Plains and Black Earth area while attending veterinary school and feels privileged to serve such a caring community.

The Golden Retriever pictured with Dr. Hoffman is Glacia, a beloved member of the family who spent years as a faithful companion, enthusiastic soccer partner, and expert cuddlier.
