Professional Interests

Dr. Bauer’s professional interests include veterinary dentistry, preventive medicine, and long-term health care for dogs and cats throughout every stage of life.

She has a particular interest in
veterinary dentistry
and regularly pursues continuing education and additional training with veterinary dental specialists. Dental health can have an important impact on a pet’s comfort and overall well-being, and Dr. Bauer enjoys helping families understand both preventive dental care and treatment options when dental disease is identified.

Preventive medicine is also an important part of her approach. Through regular
preventive veterinary care,

A Thoughtful Approach to Veterinary Visits

For Dr. Bauer, a successful veterinary visit is about more than completing an examination or treatment. She takes into account a pet’s comfort, body language, previous veterinary experiences, and response to handling. When a patient is anxious, she believes slowing down and adjusting the approach can make a meaningful difference.

This patient-centered philosophy is especially valuable for pets that have developed fear surrounding veterinary visits. The goal is to provide excellent medical care while helping create more positive veterinary experiences over time.
