  • Janet Gildner
    Small Animal Veterinarian

    Hi!  I'm Dr. Janet Gildner, one of the small animal veterinarians here at Whitewater Veterinary Hospital.  I have practiced for 31 years now, after attending the University of Wisconsin Madison for both undergrad and veterinary school.  I am a native Wisconsinite and enjoy animals (big surprise there!), plants, kayaking, camping, bicycling, and spending time with my three grown kids and friends.  I share my home with lots of pets, large and small, and still learn something from them everyday.  I feel fortunate to have the best patients in the world, and always look forward to trying to improve their lives as much as they improve ours.

    Dr. Matt is a graduate of Iowa State University.  Dr. Matt is a familiar face to our large animal clients and is eager to now be working with companion animals as well.  He has an interest in ultrasound and surgery. He and his wife Dixie (one of our CVTs) live in rural Elkhorn with their two cats Rizzo and Silas and their dog Lulu.  In his spare time he loves to ride his Harley, canoe, hunt and brew beer!

Read What Our Clients Say

    We have been going to the Whitewater Veterinary Hospital since we moved up to Wisconsin 7 years ago and there is no where else I would take my dogs for pet medical services.The entire staff from the secretaries to the doctors are phenomenal. They are all so kind , compassionate and trustworthy. They all truly love their patients and treat them as if they were their own.

    Nancy G.

    We’ve been going to this facility for just shy of 17 years. They’ve seen us through 11 personal dogs and 65 foster dogs. We have always gotten top notch service and have never been treated like just a customer from any of the staff. Our dogs have all lived long healthy lives, which we credit to the knowledgeable and thoughtful care they have received. They are never to busy too answer questions, give advice, or pass out treats and suckers! I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

    Valeria H.

    We have a very unsocial cat that was sick. They helped us to calm her so we could get her in. They were so good with her. Now she's back to normal!

    Jerry R.

    Always a wonderful experience with our dog. Vet and techs are friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and always have helpful information and advice!
