About Us

Meadow View Veterinary Clinic is a companion animal practice located on the edge of Rochester, MN [home of the Mayo Clinic]. The clinic was started, and is still owned by, Dr. Garren Kelly. We also have two sister clinics: Stewartville Animal Clinic, that is located less than 20 minutes Southeast from MVVC and Byron Pet Clinic located less than 10 min directly West of MVVC. The Rochester, MN community is consistently rated one of the best places to live in both the United States and Midwest region. Rochester is a thriving city, with suburban features but is closely surrounded by many lovely small towns for a more rural feel.

Across the three local clinics we have a robust team that include many experienced and talented CVTs, Assistants, and Receptionists to support our continued growth.
