"I have worked closely with Dr. Heigel-Meyer for 6 years now. She is very well versed in all things shelter medicine and is also very practical. Dr. Heigel-Meyer has a variety of experiences such that any situation any shelter needs assistance with, she can provide guidance and make recommendations for best animal welfare. Her use of evidence-based medicine (and surgery!) coupled with empathy for how tough this field is makes her an incredible resource."
Stacy Gaskins Founder of NAWS
"Dr. Heigel's shelter medicine educational presentations have been tremendously helpful to our Board and Staff. Her long history working in shelter medicine brings an incredible amount of first hand expertise to our organization. Highly recommend to all animal rescues and shelters!"
