Dr. Marla Lind, DVM joined Morganside Veterinary Clinic in 2017. When she was 8 she decided she wanted to be a veterinarian. She graduated from Iowa State University and is currently a member of both the Wisconsin Veterinary Medical Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association. Dr. Marla’s attention to detail is a great asset to her work. Since her patients can’t talk, the details she gathers from conversations with clients, a pet’s history, the physical examination, and diagnostic tests are all important in determining the best care for each patient.

The most inspiring part of Dr. Marla’s job is observing the amazing bond that develops between pets and their people.

Dr. Marla has 2 cats and 1 dog. She loves going for long walks with her dog. She would also like to visit all of the national parks and would like to learn Spanish.

Dr. Nathan Monson D.V.M., visited his uncle (who is a veterinarian) when he was three years old. After he came home, he began telling everyone he was going to be a veterinarian when he grew up. Although Dr. Monson is not sure if he has fully grown up, three-year-old Nathan would be proud and not surprised to find out that he graduated from Iowa State University in 2008 and has been a veterinarian ever since. He began working at Morganside in the spring of 2020, so there is at least one good thing that happened in 2020!

Bio Coming Soon!

Diana joined Morganside Veterinary Clinic as an Extern for her technician program in 2013, she later became a full time Veterinary Technician, and is now a Certified Veterinary Technician. She graduated from Globe University with an Associate’s degree in Science in December 2013. Diana is inspired by those around her everyday and especially loves to work on medicine cases, this is where she flourishes. She thrives and is encouraged by watching a patient recover, knowing she had a hand in helping. Diana brings an upbeat personality to the team with a true love for the field.

Diana is a California native and misses the warmth and sunshine during the cold winters. She has lived in Wisconsin, with her husband and 2 kiddos, for 17 years… just about as long as she lived in California. The team would describe her as the clinic clown, always trying to get people to laugh. She has been heard saying “You can’t take care of others, until you take care of yourself!”

Together with my partner Jake we have a small petting zoo at home; 3 cats, 2 dogs and 1 tortoise thats a bigger trouble maker than all the rest. We enjoy nature walks with the dogs (Edna and Jester), cozy couch time with the cats (Iggy, Waffles and Asuna), and enjoy the slower moments in life with our tortoise, Natsu. I believe every animal can teach us a lesson about enjoying life and all it has to offer.

Thing you love the most about working at Morganside Veterinary Clinic?
I enjoy sharing education with pet parents and working to create a balanced home for both human and pet members.
