Drs. Kraabel and Fritzler
 |
Dr. Timothy
R. Kraabel - Dr. Kraabel wanted to be a veterinarian since
before he could spell veterinarian. He graduated from Washington State
University in 1989 and moved to Rochester, NY for a one-year internship
at the Animal Hospital of Pittsford. Upstate New York was fun but there
was too much snow, not enough rain or decent baseball, and Dr. Fritzler
was a junior in vet school at WSU. Dr. Kraabel moved back to Washington
and joined the Lien Animal Clinic in September of 1990 and he and Dr.
Fritzler were married soon after. Dr. Kraabel enjoys his home, the
outdoors, activities with his kids, woodworking, and his work.
Dr. Elizabeth
A. Fritzler - Dr. Fritzler majored in Animal Science at
Oregon State University and graduated from the College of Veterinary
Medicine at Washington State University in 1991. She initially followed
her dream into a primarily equine practice in Redmond Washington. She
loved the horses but the schedule and lifestyle weren't conductive to
family life. She switched to a small animal practice in 1994 and joined
the Lien Animal Clinic as a part time associate in 1996, after the
birth of their first son. She loves horses, traveling, working in their
yard and being a mom. She also wanted to be a veterinarian from a
tender young age and was probably able to spell veterinarian before Dr.
Kraabel. They have owned the Lien Animal Clinic since 1999 and have
three young children who keep them very busy. They have a litany of
animals: Two dogs, four cats, two goldfish and two horses. TOP |
