Dr. Diane Thein
Veterinarian, Owner
Dr. Diane Thein was born in Waterloo, Iowa, and graduated from Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine in 1992. At the beginning of her career she worked on both horses and small animals before focusing solely on small animals. Veterinary medicine has many of the same diseases as found in human medicine but with a silent patient; Dr. Thein’s passion is to provide the same quality care and compassion you would expect from your own family doctor.
Dr. Thein moved to Galesville from the Iowa City, Iowa, area in August of 2006 for a position in Winona before opening Best Friends Pet Clinic in August 2007.
She recently married Jay Wnuk. My hobbies include ultra running, the longest distance so far is 100k. Also hiking my dogs Bachardi, Ella, Amos, and Anja. Spending time with Nick my horse and traveling. The next trip is to New Zealand.
