Dr. Tom Schuld
Dr. Tom Schuld joined Minnehaha Animal Hospital at the end of March 2008. His path here, however, had a number of detours along the way.

Since that time, he has been in small animal practice in the Twin Cities area. Tom's special veterinary interests include dentistry and orthopedic surgery.
Tom has been a resident of South Minneapolis for nearly 20 years. His home life is shared with his wife, Gail, three children, two Shiba Inu dogs (Kimi and Rusty) and a very personable turtle named Curi. When not at the hospital, Tom enjoys spending time with his family, running or biking, fishing with his daughter and working on an endless list of home improvement projects that come with an 86 year old house.
