Reed Hanson, DVM

After completing two years at Ricks College and two years at Utah State University, Dr. Hanson graduated from Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine. He has been a small animal practitioner for over 30 years. 

He grew up on a ranch in Rigby, Idaho and has always had a desire to make animals feel better. He practiced 14 years in Ogden, Utah before opening Cedar Ridge Animal Hospital in 2006. He lives in Rexburg with his wife Beth and teenage daughter, Ivy.

Steve Haymore, DVM

Dr. Haymore didn’t fall in love with veterinary medicine until after he had graduated from college and was considering human medicine. Growing up, he was his family’s animal person and raised racing and show pigeons, gerbils, and different lizards. He started working at Alpine Animal Hospital in 2010 in Chubbuck, Idaho. In December 2023, Dr. Haymore, along with other colleges, purchased Cedar Ridge Animal Hospital. He now splits his time working at both Alpine and Cedar Ridge. People rarely say they love coming to work every day, but Dr. Haymore thinks that regularly, especially when he is performing duties as an exotic veterinarian at the Pocatello Zoo and growing his clientele here at Cedar Ridge Animal Hospital.

Dr. Haymore shares his home with two dogs, three cats, and three horses, since his wife, Haley, keeps his animal numbers to a reasonable level. He and Haley have been married since 2002. They have added five children to their family. He thinks she likely married him for his phenomenal cooking skills, especially the perfectly seared steak he grills. Dr. Haymore’s biggest fear is that his wife will leave if he brings home another animal—which almost happened when he brought home their third cat.

Although his wife has put the kibosh on any more animals, Dr. Haymore would love to have more family felines. He is fascinated by these mysterious creatures, from the way they move and act to how easy they are to own and take care of. In addition to enjoying hanging out with his furry and human family members, Dr. Haymore has a blast hunting and fly fishing. He is an ultimate frisbee champ, so don’t bet against him.

Keep an eye on Dr. Haymore, whose goal is to learn new, upcoming veterinary procedures and to perform hip replacements on dogs to advance the level of medicine here at Cedar Ridges Animal Hospital.

Seth Lundquist, DVM

Dr. Lundquist, a large animal specialist here at Alpine Animal Hospital, received his undergraduate degree from Utah State University, and his veterinary medicine degree at Purdue University, and then stopped traveling, except to make his way “home” to Pocatello. With ties to northern Utah and southeastern Idaho, he feels truly at home in our community and has enjoyed the Pocatello kinship. While growing up, Dr. Lundquist’s work life revolved around a family ranch in Swan Valley, Idaho, a local dairy in Cache Valley, Utah, and a USDA animal research facility near Utah State University. He has always loved working with working animals, livestock, and the people who raise them. Dr. Lundquist bases his veterinary career on his role model, James Herriot, always striving for excellence when treating animals, but also serving their owners. 

Outside of the hospital, Dr. Lundquist is still surrounded by animals, with a home full of critters, including a dog, cat, horses, chickens, rabbits, and small children. He wouldn’t trade his life for anything, except perhaps a quiet, solitary mountain river full of hungry trout. Growing berries is also high on his list of alternative careers, but he can’t see himself doing anything else than veterinary medicine.
