Welcome to our veterinary clinic! We love serving southeast Iowa and genuinely care about the care of your pets and production animals. The Mediapolis Veterinary Clinic has been in business since 1953 and is currently owned by Dr. Wendy Thomas.
Dr. Seth Hartter received his veterinary training at Kansas State University after which he first practiced at a mixed animal clinic in northern Missouri. Dr. Hartter became an associate veterinarian at the Mediapolis Veterinary Clinic in 2013. Some of his interests at work are orthopedic surgery and herd health.  He enjoys the opportunities to work with a variety of species and to get out into the country. Outside of work he enjoys observing God’s creation, playing a guitar, and dabbling in construction projects. His lovely wife, Brenda, grew up in the local area and they have been blessed with four sons and two daughters. The animals that reside at their place include the more permanent Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix named Tucker, and the relatively temporary or occasional chickens, ducks, pigs, etc.
Dr. Thomas graduated from the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2010. She joined MVC as an associate in 2010 and purchased the clinic in 2011. Her special interests include small animal soft tissue surgery, dermatology, dentistry, and large animal obstetrics and herd management. She lives south of Mediapolis with her husband Gregory and children Tillie Mae and Curtis. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, practicing yoga, reading, riding horses, and spending time with her family.
Jenna has been with us since 2021. She is working on getting her veterinary technician degree online and is excited to continue growing in her position. She recently completed her certification for veterinary assisting as part of her program. She has two dogs and two cats at home.
Sam recently moved here from MINN-e-SOta (where she grew up). She has been with us since 2023. She is married and currently has 3 ducks, 3 cats and 2 dogs. In her free time she enjoys doing chores, listening to Dateline, and traveling.
