Our Story

We understand that your pet is an important part of your family. That's why we specialize solely on the treatment of your pet's eye. We're committed to providing personalized treatment plans and compassionate care to every patient.

Dr. Andrew Rogen is a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist. Andrew's interest in veterinary medicine began at his family's small animal veterinary clinic and on their family farm near Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Those two experiences convinced Andrew that caring for animals and their people was his passion.

Andrew graduated from South Dakota State University prior to receiving a doctorate in veterinary medicine from Iowa State University in 2015. He then completed both a small animal general internship and ophthalmology specialty internship in Oregon. Dr. Rogen completed a three-year comparative ophthalmology residency program at Eye Care for Animals while working in Southern California and Wisconsin. He attained board certification from the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists in 2020.

Dr. Rogen is excited to provide veterinary ophthalmology services in South Dakota and Minnesota. When not working, Dr. Rogen enjoys hiking, travel, and spending time with family.

Dr. Jessica McDonald is a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist. Her interest in veterinary medicine began at a very young age caring for her own pets and considered medical school as a backup plan.

Dr. McDonald graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a double major in Animal Sciences and Genetics in 2009. She received her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013 and then completed her small animal rotating internship at Purdue University. She was accepted into a three-year comparative ophthalmology residency program at Eye Care for Animals in Salt Lake City and attained board certification from the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists in 2017.

Dr. McDonald loves how ophthalmology encompasses not just the eye: From small to large animals, medicine to surgery. Her own dog Huxley has only one eye and has underwent cataract surgery. When not in the clinic, Dr McDonald enjoys live music and concerts, paddleboarding and crafting gluten free goods.

Dr. Nicole Langer is thrilled to be back in her home state of Minnesota as a comparative ophthalmology resident. She completed an undergraduate degree in Animal Science from the University of Minnesota before obtaining her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Western University of Health Sciences in Southern California. Dr. Langer went on to complete a small animal general internship at a specialty referral hospital in Minnesota before providing care to companion animals as a general practitioner.

Dr. Langer left general practice to pursue her interest in veterinary ophthalmology through the completion of two ophthalmology specialty internships in Ohio and Oregon. Dr. Langer is excited to provide ophthalmic care to patients while training at Vet Eye Pros. In her free time, Dr. Langer enjoys spending time with family and friends, road trips, and archery.
