Dr. Mcfield
Veterinarian
Dr. Mcfield graduated from Tuskegee University and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science and then went on to achieve her degree as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. She worked for the USDA under the Federal Government as a Public Health Veterinarian for 15 years. During that time, Dr. Mcfield and her husband started a mobile Veterinary Practice, which became a successful stand-up clinic for 27 years. This practice consisted of mainly treating, diagnosing, performing surgery, boarding, and grooming for dogs and cats. Since her early years, she pursued her dream of becoming a veterinarian, dedicating unwavering effort to reach her goal. Now, she finds immense joy in a fulfilling career that not only brings her personal satisfaction but also enables her to make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless animals.

In Reno, the Matzkes expanded their family significantly with the addition of a few two-legged children – Emy, Thomas, and Patrick.
