Dr. Wayne Scanlan, DVM
My name is Wayne Scanlan and my hometown is Williston, North Dakota. I graduated from the University of Minnesota DVM in 1975 and have been actively practicing since. I have three dogs whos names are Ursa (Boxer), Zora (Boxer) and our newest addition Zeus (French Bulldog). In addition to my dogs, I have Thoroughbred Race Horses that run both locally and nationally.
I decided to become a Veterinarian as a young boy after watching Veterinarians working on our farm animals on our ranch in North Dakota. I came to Minnesota to go to the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine. While in college, I realized I much preferred working with people and their pets. That led me to stay in the Twin Cities upon graduating in 1975. I have worked as a small animal Veterinarian in the White Bear Lake/Hugo area since getting my degree.
My interests include Orthopedic Surgery and working with breed rescue groups. I reside in Hugo with my wife and our dogs. My son, Tyler, is attending St. Cloud State working towards a degree in Psychology and Film Making.
I look forward to working with you closely to obtain your pets healthy life!
