About Dr. Patrick McKeever
Dr. McKeever founded the veterinary dermatology program at the University of Minnesota , and served as the primary professor there for 27 years. Many of the veterinary dermatology specialists in Minnesota have studied with him at one time or another.
This background enables Dr. McKeever to see beyond the obvious in arriving at a diagnosis. His years of experience in diagnosing and treating thousands of animals with skin disease allow him to determine which diagnostic procedures will be most rewarding, and which medications and doses will produce the best results. What ever skin or ear problem your family pet has, Dr. McKeever has probably seen and treated many like it. He has the insight and patience to determine what's truly bothering your animal ---and the skill to control it.
