Dr. Ogden
Dr. Joan Klassen Ogden has had a strong connection to the Southborough Veterinary hospital for many years. Dr. Ogden met Dr. Westphal during her internship at Angell Animal Medical Center in 1995. In 1999, she and Dr. Westphal fulfilled their dream of opening a progressive, compassionate and capable general practice to serve the needs of the Metrowest Community. She greatly enjoys her relationships that have evolved over the years - with patients and their families, her fellow veterinarians and staff members as well as numerous professional connections in the area.
Dr. Ogden graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1990. She spent a year as a zookeeper in the large cat department at the National Zoo before applying to veterinary school. She received her professional veterinary degree from the University of Minnesota in 1995, then headed to Boston to complete a 13 month internship in small animal medicine and surgery at Angell.
Dr. Ogden enjoys all aspects of internal medicine and surgery, and enjoys managing care of patients through all life stages. She has completed extra training in Veterinary Dentistry as well as basic Ultrasound training. She is always interested in furthering her skills and knowledge and partakes in various continuing education opportunities consistently.
Dr. Ogden spends her free time with her pets, which include 2 Viszlas and several cats and a few assorted miniature donkeys and extra large goats. She also enjoys spending time near the ocean and in the mountains, especially with friends and family.
