As a general practitioner Dr. Randall enjoys all areas of medicine and surgery.  Six years at a practice that included an emergency service fostered a special interest in emergency medicine and surgery.  His favorite part of practice remains new puppy and kitten exams.  He is married and has two children.  His hobbies include playing with the kids, coaching and watching said children in numerous sports venues, geocaching, running and an occasional triathlon or marathon.  The Randalls have 2 cats (Frisco and Maggie) and one dog, Kipper.




Dr. Barb LorinserBarb Lorinser, DVM
    Dr. Lorinser is a 2005 graduate of the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine.  After veterinary school, she worked for the Animal Humane Society as a shelter veterinarian both doing high-volume spay-neuter surgeries on cats, dogs, and rabbits of all ages as well as addressing the medical needs of animals at the shelter.  While she found shelter work very rewarding, she missed the interaction with clients and the long-term relationships with clients and their pets and thus decided to make the move to private practice in July 2008.  Dr. Barb lives in Hugo with her husband Tim, their son Wyatt, and are expecting a baby this December.  They also share their home with a menagerie of pets – including the occasional foster animal for special cases.  Dr. Barb still has a special interest in rescue work but enjoys the challenge of all aspects of general practice.
