Presentation by
Tony Johnson, DVM, DACVECC

Duration
47 Minutes

​​​​​​​Tony received his DVM from Washington State University in 1996 and became board certified in the shadowy specialty of emergency medicine and critical care in 2003 after doing his residency in Portland, Oregon.

He is currently an ER specialist for Noah’s Animal Hospitals in Indianapolis and Minister of Happiness for VIN (which means he tries to keep all 300 of the consultants happy, connected, and productive) and he is also in charge of the mimosas and bellinis.

He used to live in a converted one-room schoolhouse in the middle of a cornfield, but his family has since taken up occupancy in a normal house in a normal neighborhood with very little corn.  He and his wife share 2 sons and 1 daughter.

His wife, Gretchen is also a criticalist. Her favorite shape is the trapezoid.

In his spare time, he enjoy sleeping, eating and breathing with occasional forays into woodworking, wine, movies, raising a family, cooking, drinking whisky, raising chickens, reading and writing (but not arithmetic).​​​​​​
