Veterinarian Overview
I am a University of Illinois graduate who worked at Herrin Animal Hospital from 1997 until 2009. My wife and I purchased the clinic in December of 2009. We renamed it Bortell Animal Hospital to reflect the family culture of our clinic. When I am not taking care of your pets, I am spending time with my wife, Andrea, two daughters, our dog Niles, our cats Arwen, Spooky and Stripey. I enjoy spending time outdoors; especially fly fishing, canoeing, or hiking. Indoors I love tying flies and reading.
