Veterinarian Overview
A born and raised native of Wichita as well, Dr. Duke graduated from Wichita South High in 1993. She received her bachelor's degree in biology from Kansas Newman College in 1997. Upon receiving her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine from Kansas State University in 2002, Dr. Duke began her veterinary career in Cincinnati, Ohio with the Colerain Animal Clinic. In 2004 she returned to Wichita and worked with Pet Haven Veterinary Clinic full time while doing relief work for the Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Wichita. During that time she served as secretary for the Wichita Veterinary Medical Association. She started full time with VESH in 2010 and then joined CTAH in 2015. In addition to companion animals, Dr. Duke brings a special interest in exotic pets to our practice, including treatment of reptiles and small mammals, although she, regretfully, has a severe allergy to guinea pigs. Dr. Duke likes to spend her spare time with her two sons, ages nineteen and twelve. The elder is currently attending Wichita State University for engineering and the younger is in middle school and plays for the football team. Her animal kingdom family includes three cats, Parados, Senka and Josie, her terrier mix, Munchie, a poodle mix, Afrodite and Dizzy, a three-footed box turtle. When she has time she enjoys participating in charitable work, including Project Care, a local initiative by the Sedgwick County Animal Response Team, which assists homeless pet owners.
