Heather
Ballard, DVM
Associate Veterinarian
Dr. Ballard joined the Excelsior Animal Hospital team on 2019 after moving to Minnesota from Arizona with her family in 2018. They are definitely enjoying all of the seasons in Minnesota, rather than just hot, really hot, and warm. She graduated from the University of Arizona a long time ago with a degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology. After undergrad, she went to Kansas-and in keeping with the Wildcat tradition, she received her DVM from Kansas State University in 2004. After veterinary school, she returned to Arizona and started working with primarily cats and dogs in daytime and emergency practice. She is interested in internal medicine and emergency medicine. When she isn’t working, she is busy with her family: 10 year old twins, a middle schooler and high schooler, plus 2 dogs, 2 cats, a rabbit, gecko, and fish! Her favorite past times include: reading the daily paper, anything outdoors (running, biking, hiking) and keeping up on all of the scary HBO and Netflix shows.
