Honored Mentor
Heidi A. Hottinger
DVM, DACVS
Thank you for setting an unmatchable standard both in the OR and outside of it.
- Elizabeth Arthur, DVM, DACVS (Small Animal)
Dr. Hottinger has been an incredible mentor both in my training and as a young surgeon.
- Grayson Lee Cole, DVM, DACVS (Small Animal)

Dr. Hottinger always pushed you to be your best.
- Ryan Edward McCally, MS, DVM, DACVS (Small Animal)
Heidi models how to be an exceptional surgeon in every manner, as well as how to be your own strong person. I am unequivocally indebted to her influence on the surgeon and woman I am today.
- Deanna Worley, DVM, DACVS (Small Animal)

I would not be where I am today without her endless devotion to making sure her surgery interns were successful. Her favorite quotes are “work smarter, not harder, and look cool doing it,” and “firm kiss with a little passion” when describing how firmly to secure enterotomy/R&A suture knots.
