Meet Our Veterinary Team
Meet the veterinarians and team at Northbrook Animal Hospital, where we’re committed to providing exceptional veterinary care for pets in Brooklyn Park, MN.
Our Veterinarians
Dr. Mey Nevo, Medical Director
Dr. Mey Nevo graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in May 2007. Since then, her veterinary adventures have taken her to Illinois, Tennessee, New Jersey, and Minnesota, all while tagging along with her husband through his Small Animal Internal Medicine internship and residency. After all that traveling, they decided to plant roots in Minnesota to be closer to family.
At home, Dr. Nevo shares her life with her fantastic husband, Dr. Steven Shadwick, and their lively trio of kids: Sophie, Lucy, and Robert. These three bring a whirlwind of new and exciting challenges every day. And let’s not forget Bruce and Ruby, their young, spirited border terriers who are always up to something and keeping the Nevo-Shadwick household buzzing with energy!
Dr. Nevo has a knack for adding a personal touch to her patient care. Since 2008, she’s been mastering veterinary ultrasonography, bringing top-notch diagnostics to her clients at a budget-friendly price. Besides her love for advanced imaging, she’s also deeply into soft-tissue surgery and internal medicine. With her busy schedule and lively family, life is never dull at the Nevo-Shadwick household!
Dr. Jennifer Blum, Medical Director
Dr. Jennifer Blum graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Veterinary Medicine in May 2006. Her love for animals started way back on a dairy farm in Northwest Wisconsin, where she was always knee-deep in 4-H projects and local shindigs. That early farm life sparked her passion for veterinary medicine, and she has a keen interest in dentistry, internal medicine, and dermatology.
At home, Dr. Blum shares her space with her husband, their twin girls, and their energetic senior Labrador retriever, Eddy. But let’s be real — it’s Tigey, their cheeky tabby cat, who truly runs the show. Tigey has a knack for getting into hilarious scrapes, keeping the whole household entertained.
When she’s not at work, Dr. Blum and her family embrace the great outdoors with camping trips and hikes. They also hit the slopes for some thrilling downhill skiing. And when they’re indoors, you’ll find her baking up a storm with her daughters, whipping up sweet treats and even sweeter memories.
Dr. Kendall Wallace, Veterinarian
Dr. Wallace was drawn to veterinary medicine because it allows her to advocate for pets while using her problem-solving skills to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions. She believes that the best outcomes come when veterinarians and pet owners work together as a team to support a pet’s health.
Outside of the clinic, she enjoys exploring new restaurants with her husband and running around the local lakes. She shares her home with three cats – Cyrus, Dharma, and Higgins.
Our Veterinary Technician
Tracy
Meet Tracy, one of our Certified Veterinary Technicians who brings a wealth of experience to our team. When she was young, Tracy developed a deep love for nature and animals. This passion led her to pursue a degree in veterinary technology from Argosy University. Tracy had been working in this industry for 12 years before joining the Northbrook Animal Hospital family in 2017.
Tracy’s favorite parts of her job are performing dental cleanings and sharing her knowledge with new puppy and kitten owners. Outside of work, she’s a fan of all things related to her favorite sports team, the Vikings. When the game isn’t on, you can find her outdoors with her family.
At home, Tracy lives with her fiancé, Matt, and their two daughters, Anna and Abby. Their furry friends include Darla, a Maltese-Yorkie mix, and Mango, an adorable guinea pig.
