A tenacious terrier named Steve, a sassy Shih-Tzu named
Bella, a precocious kitten named Pickles and a relentlessly naughty cat named
Keswick compose Dr. Steve Kivisto’s four-legged family. Dr. Kivisto graduated
from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in 1997 and
admits the best part of his career are the cute, cuddly puppies and kittens he
meets. Dr. Kivisto enjoys soft tissue surgery and dentistry, but finds the
field of veterinary ophthalmology to be fascinating. During his down time, Dr.
Steve Kivisto enjoys reading, exploring nature and playing hockey.
