Dr. Tanja Menks
Graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the University Clinic of Munich in 1996. She has performed a 1 year internship at the University Clinic of Munich working in the Internal Department for Small Animals and Equines, specializing in endoscopy.
She received her United States Veterinary License after graduating at Tuskegee University, School of Veterinary Medicine in 2003 and started to work in a Mixed Animal Clinic in Yakima.Tanja Menks DVM moved in 2006 to the Tri-Cities area working as a veterinarian and in April of 2009 started Dr. Menks' Mobile Vet Care offering her skills and veterinary services door to door. Starting with a 20 year old clinic, no surgery suite, no digital radiography, no air condition... it still impressed a lot of people! They loved that they received more personable care for their pets. At the 10 month mark, she acquired the 'Big Rig' at a convention in Las Vegas, tossing the return air plane tickets and drove it home. With her 'everything anywhere and anytime' attitude she has developed a very successful practice. She says that the things that keep her sane are walking her dogs and riding her horses - so a fifty mile endurance ride on her horse is considered fun? |
