Dr. Lori Lee - Dog Trainer
Meet the incredible Dr. Lori Lee, DO, CWSP – a powerhouse with a passion for healing and a heart for adventure! A 1991 graduate of Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Lee is not your average board-certified general surgeon; she's a certified wound specialist physician on a mission to make wounds vanish like magic.
With an impressive 22 years of surgical experience, Dr. Lee's journey began at Grandview Hospital and Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio, where she honed her surgical skills. Hailing from the charming town of Medford, WI, she spent the last 17 years practicing general surgery at one of the nation's top 100 critical access hospitals – talk about making a difference!
Lori also served as a US Army Reserve officer from 2001-2008. Her dedication reached new heights as she cared for soldiers wounded in combat during her deployments. A true hero in every sense!
Lori is a proud grandmother to three adorable grandchildren. When she's not busy saving the day, she enjoys the thrill of biking and the grace of cross-country skiing, proving that healing isn't just her profession – it's her way of life.
Dr. Lee's alter ego emerges in the realm of dog training. From her first canine companion, Sparky, with mismatched eyes, to managing the lively Rocky Ridge Racing Kennel with 15 energetic Eurohounds – she's the maestro of the "Gee, Haw, On by, and Whoa!" commands.
Her determination led to first place in her first pro race in the 2-dog sprint class. She is a true pioneer in sled dog sprint racing, her talents extend beyond the operating room and into the frosty wilderness.
Dr. Lee is a lifelong dog lover and owner. Her dream job involves cuddling, loving, and training puppies for other clinicians and families who share her passion for dogs. We are incredibly fortunate to have Lori on our team, as a friend, and as a neighbor.
