Wichita, KS

Team Leads:

Lauren Herd, DVM

Dr. Herd was born and raised in Wichita, KS. She graduated from Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine in May 2023 and began practice shortly after in Andover, KS. Her passion for community outreach was realized while in veterinary school and volunteering at several outreach events. She volunteered at a Street Dog Coalition event in Topeka, KS while a senior in veterinary school and thus began her love for SDC. She has since strived to start her own team to serve the Wichita, KS area.

After moving to Kansas, she has worked in various clinics in Augusta and the surrounding areas. Samantha has always had a passion for saving animals and has fostered many over the years. She is excited about joining SDC and cannot wait to help with the Wichita team!
