Dr. Penwell

I grew up in Penfield, New York. I received my B.S in Microbiology in 1991 and my M.P.H in Hospital and Molecular Epidemiology in 1994 from the University of Michigan,(GO BLUE!!). I worked in a immunology research laboratory before receiving my D.V.M. in 2000 from Michigan State University. After an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Auburn University, I moved to Arlington Heights, Illinois to work in a small animal practice. Even though I loved the Chicago area, it was much too cold for me! I moved to Phoenix in 2002 and have worked for Arrow Group since that time. I enjoy field trips with the Arizona Archeological Society, hiking, and exploring the southwest. I share my home with Sampson the Doberman Pinscher, Eleanor the Basset Hound and six cats: Miranda, Hobbs, Lucas, Oscar, Penelope and Gizmo.

Dr. Hummel

I received a B.S. degree in Biology with an interest in Molecular Biology and Genetics from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas before graduating from Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine in 1994. I spent time practicing in Houston, Texas, and San Francisco, California before moving to the greater Phoenix area in 2003. Since coming to the valley, I have worked in multiple veterinary hospitals in the Arrow Group as a relief veterinarian. I remained as full time veterinarian at Goodyear Animal Hospital from July 2005 to September 2007 before transferring to Westbrook Animal Hospital as an owner veterinarian. My partner and I live in northwest Phoenix with our 4 wonderful dogs, Monty, Maggie, Adam and Austin, all of whom have their own special medical problems. Together, we own a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Surprise, Arizona. When we are not working, I enjoy playing with the dogs, caring for my Plumeria collection and cooking.

Dr. Kiedrowski

Dr. Kiedrowski has been a managing partner at Dove Valley Animal Hospital since October 2003. He was a graduate of West Phoenix High School before attending. Northern Arizona University receiving his Bachelor of Science in Zoology. He finished his collegiate education at Colorado State University receiving his DVM degree in 1989. Post graduation, he returned to Arizona and began his real life training at Camelwest Animal Hospital before taking a position and becoming a partner at Mountain View Animal Hospital where he practiced until 2003. He studied in an internship in Avian / exotic medicine under Dr Susan Clubb in Florida. He has provided consulting work for The Phoenix Zoo, Out Of Africa, Wildlife World Zoo, Arizona Game & Fish, as well as the Animal Kingdom Stores, Pet Pad Stores and The Arizona Reptile Center. He has lectured on exotic animal medicine and husbandry to numerous groups including The Arizona Veterinary Medical Association, The Arizona Veterinary Health Care Team and the International Herpetological Symposium. He spent 6 years on the board of The Arizona Herpetological association and is a consulting veterinarian for The National Turtle and Tortoise Association. He is a member of The Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians.

He was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin where he learned to chase frogs and snakes in the local swamp. His family moved to Arizona in 1968. As a small child his career choices included Paleontology, Herpetology and Veterinary Medicine. After being informed that all the dinosaurs were dead, Paleontology was dropped from the list. In college he realized that opportunities for herpetologists were very limited so Veterinary Medicine became the top choice.

His hobbies include spending time with his wife and two sons. In his spare time he breeds reptiles and restores old pinball machines to sell or add to his collection.

Brian

I was born and raised in Texas, then moved to Illinois where I went to school for music performance, but I always had a “thing” for the medical field. I received my EMT-B license and sought out to become a paramedic. While doing so, I worked for school districts and park districts doing before and after school day care for children from ages Kindergarten to thirteen years of age, for eight years. When I moved here a year ago I never thought I would have so much fun in the animal medical field than I am having now. My roommate and I live in Buckeye the dog’s name is Player. I am currently re-certifying my license to practice emergency medicine and will someday be a certified veterinary technician.

Hobbies:
Playing and watching almost every sport. My favorite teams include any Chicago team, the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Cowboys. Music is my passion and I still play a few instruments. Playstation 3! Movies.
