Betty A. Kramek-Heffernan

Not only is she an excellent teacher, she is an excellent surgeon and influential for women's role in veterinary surgery. Thanks for always being there!

- Ann Heffernan, DVM, DACVS (Small Animal)

I knew I could always count on Betty for her unwavering support as a resident and into my career. I recall that she would often answer questions directed at the residents during rounds. Some found this annoying, but I came to appreciate this as one of her endearing qualities. Betty loves to do surgery and be a mentor. I am tremendously grateful for her support and contribution. You certainly had an impact on my career.

She showed me by example that you can be an elite surgeon and be warm, kind, and humble.
