Meet Our Principal Doctor
Mary Luebbers, DVM

While Dr. Luebbers has been practicing veterinary medicine for nine years, she started her journey as a veterinary assistant 22 years ago when she was just 16. Throughout it all, she’s focused on one thing: ensuring her clients leave feeling like their furry family member is treated like one of her own.

When she’s not mentoring others within her industry, you can find this football-loving, mountain-bike-riding adventurous spirit hanging with her husband, three kids, and two lively dogs.

Dr. Ellen Smith

Dr. Ellen Smith

Dr. Ellen Smith was born and raised in the south metro region of Minnesota on a hobby farm. She attended the University of Minnesota’s College of Biological Sciences where she received her B.S. in Biology in 2006. Between her undergraduate degree and veterinary school, she worked for a year at a small animal veterinary clinic in St Paul, Minnesota. She graduated in 2011 from the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine. After graduating from veterinary school, she briefly worked in northern Minnesota before moving back to the twin cities region, where she has been practicing for the last 4.5 years.

Dr. Smith’s focus is on preventative care with special interests in Dentistry and Internal Medicine. Dr. Smith is an active volunteer at the Tri-County Humane Society in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Dr. Smith is looking forward to partnering with rescue groups within the Twin Cities as an associate doctor at WellHaven Pet Health Minnetonka.

Dr. Smith shares her home with her husband, two kids, two dogs, and a few hermit crabs.

Roxann

Roxann

Roxann is currently a veterinary assistant. She was a professional groomer for 10 years and before that a stay at home mom. In 2020 she decided to switch gears and become a veterinary technician and is currently enrolled in school. Roxann loves learning and brings a lot of fun energy to Wellhaven. In her free time, she enjoys playing scrabble with her husband, spending time with their 2 adult children, and loving on her 2 standard poodles.

Mara

Mara

Mara began her career as a Veterinary Assistant 8 years ago and has been with Wellhaven for 2 years, both at our Bloomington Urgent Care hospital and our Minnetonka location. She has a special interest in palliative and end of life care, where she values the ongoing development of ways to provide comfort and care for both pets AND their people in times of crisis. Mara lives in Minneapolis with her two very naughty, but adorable kitties, and loves exploring Minnesota with her girlfriend. Outside of work, you are guaranteed to find her rock climbing or creating art of any kind.

Rosie

Rosie

Rosie is one of our talented Veterinary Assistants. She has been with Wellhaven for 3 years, but started her journey in the field 8 years ago working in shelter medicine.  Rosie especially loves working with our feline patients, from kittens to fractious cats. At home, you’ll find Rosie with her fiancé and her ever-loving two cats. She is an avid reader who can be found with a book on her at (nearly) all times, but she also enjoys dabbling in crafts, sewing and spending time with her loved ones.

Rachel

Rachel

Rachel is a CVT of 12 years, and has been with Wellhaven for 3. Rachel loves working with our geriatric patients, and also dedicates a lot of time building trust with our more anxious patients—she’s got the magic touch when it comes to timid pets. When she’s not at work, she’s traveling with her husband, spending time with her two daughters, and caring for her small zoo that includes: 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 snail, 1 eel, 1 fiddler crab, 1 frog, and a tank full of fish! She enjoys being crafty, reading piles of books, and taking her dog Lucky on play dates.

Wee

Wee

Wee is our Reception Assistant that has graced us with her presence for 3 years. She came into Rachel’s life while Rachel was working in shelter medicine. Wee was a surrender that was not able to be touched or handled. Even after working with behaviorists, she still refused to let anyone touch her. She was considered unadoptable. But, after lots of patience and offerings of many soft blankets, she rested her head on Rachel’s lap, and the rest is history. Her favorite parts of her job include: resting in her stroller, supervising cleaning tasks, and helping bring trash to the garbage room (her ultimate favorite). We are so lucky to have Wee!

Kyle

Kyle

Kyle is our Practice Manager. She has been a CVT for 10 years and in the veterinary field for 12 years. She joined WellHaven in 2018 and helped open up the Minnetonka hospital. Kyle has a special interest in dentistry and staff development. She is a very hands-on manager, and you will still see her treating and caring for patients and continuing her tech duties. She has a rambunctious Bernise Moutain Dog at home named Frito and a toothless cat named Edgar. In her spare time, Kyle loves to spend time with her 2 kids and husband by going on nature walks or curling up with a good book on the couch.
