Meet Our Team

Dr. Frank is a 2008 graduate of Purdue's School of Veterinary Medicine and excited to be bringing her personal and compassionate touch to Broad Ripple's cats and dogs. Dr. Frank is passionate about practicing high quality yet practical medicine and being sure that all of her patients are treated as they were her own. She is Fear Free Elite certified and advocates for all of her patient's mental and physical health. In particular, she enjoys geriatric pet care and preventative care.

Dr. Frank resides in Indianapolis with her husband, two daughters, senior German Shepherd, two cats, and a menagerie of chickens. She would love to meet you and your four-legged family. 

Brittany is a talented veterinary assistant with a soft spot for kitties and geriatric critters. She is a shelter and veterinary Fear Free Certified Professional with a background in animal welfare and high quality/high volume spay/neuter services. Brittany is passionate about accessible, individualized patient care as well as preventative care and public outreach. Her special interests include helping out our local community cats and assisting in wildlife rehab (especially opossums ).

Chelsie brings the life to our hospital. Her sunshine and sense of humor are invaluable. She's been a veterinary assistant since 2020 and a lifelong lover of animals. She grew up in Indiana but spent the last two years in Tennessee before recently moving back. She is Fear Free Certified and is passionate about assisting during surgery. She has five pets of her own, all of whom are rescues.

Born and raised right here in Indianapolis, Emma was the child who always had a soft spot for all critters. She grew up wanting to save all the lives, and now she has the chance to do so! Emma has worked in high-quality high-volume spay and neuter, as well as general practice, which is where her heart is. She is also a fear free certified professional, fitting right in with the rest of the Northside Paws Family. In her free time, Emma loves spending time with her two pups, Gypsy and Ultraviolet, her partner, Eric, as well as gardening, outdoor exploring, and reading.

Emily has been a veterinary assistant since 2021, and is undeniably a dog person at heart. She has been interested in animal care and behavior since childhood but has a background in narrative journalism, communications, and creative writing. She is working on certifications for both Fear Free animal handling and grant writing so she can also work toward helping local nonprofits involved in animal care, civil rights, and the arts. You can find her outside of work having adventures with her husband and her 11-year old boxer mix Phoebe.
