Dr. Alexis Sweat

After graduating from vet school in 2016, Dr. Alexis Sweat completed a large animal internship with the clinical veterinary team at USU. She then joined a mixed animal practice in Ava, Missouri, where she enjoyed working with both small animal clientele and a large number of cow-calf producers. Living in the Ozarks was an experience she holds dear, and she met many great people.
