Heath Wiseman, DVM
Heath is a native of Bryant, SD. He attended Kansas State University for his undergraduate studies. Heath earned his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 1999 from Iowa State University.

Early detection of hip laxity allows lifestyle changes to be made which may slow the onset of arthritis. More surgical options are available for correction of hip dysplasia when identified at a young age.

Heath was an associate veterinarian in Rocky Mount, NC before establishing Springfield Veterinary Center in July 2003.

The Wiseman Family
Heath and Cynthia met in veterinary school at Iowa State University. They moved to North Carolina following graduation in 1999, seeking a warmer climate and a change of pace. They enjoyed North Carolina, but missed the Midwest.
Heath and Cynthia chose Springfield, Missouri based on several factors. Springfield is a larger city without the large-city feel and is a short two hour drive from Cynthia's parents. Southwestern Missouri also offers many outdoor activities.
Trokey Animal Hospital provided the perfect opportunity to get established in Springfield. It provided a nice facility with an incredible staff and friendly, caring clients. Heath and Cynthia purchased Trokey Animal Hospital in July 2003 and re-named it Springfield Veterinary Center. In 2015, the business was relocated to a more spacious, new facility at 330 East Battlefield.
Heath and Cynthia extend their compassion and caring for animals into their own home. Their family has three dogs, two horses and two ponies.
