Oakdale Staff - Oakdale Veterinary Center

Dr. Kyle grew up in Bartonville, IL and spent many hours outside on his grandpa's farm developing his interest in animals and veterinary medicine. After completing his veterinary degree at the University of Illinois, Kyle worked at a mixed-animal practice in western Illinois then spent the next 2 years in northern California at a busy small animal practice. It is here that he discovered his true passion for small animal surgery and medicine. He thoroughly enjoys any type of surgery, but has a special interest in orthopedic procedures. While in California, Kyle became adept at using an ultrasound to help him with various diagnoses. Kyle is excited to be back in Illinois and looks forward to seeing both large and small animal patients. He enjoys hunting, fishing, riding his motorcycle, and anything associated with being outside.

Dr. Amanda grew up in southwest Iowa and attended Iowa State University. She completed a one-year internship at an equine-only referral hospital after graduation from veterinary school then stayed in California to work at the same small animal clinic as Kyle. Amanda is intrigued with ophthalmology in any species and has spent extra time learning about different eye diseases, ocular procedures, and how to manage eye cases in both small and large animal species. In her free time, Amanda enjoys hiking, dancing, riding Kyle's motorcycle, reading, and spending time with their dog Rudy.
