Meet Our Team!

Dr. Colette Friedenson

Dr. Colette Friedenson, VMD, MPH received her veterinary doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania. After finishing vet school, she completed a fellowship in Emergency Medicine and Surgery and has been working in emergency medicine ever since. Dr. Friedenson’s professional interests include critical care such as polytraumas and toxicities, soft tissue surgery, and wound management. She is also Fear Free certified and is passionate about reducing stress for pets and their owners during veterinary emergencies. 

Prior to attending vet school, Dr. Friedenson received her Masters in Public Health in Epidemiology at Columbia University with a focus on zoonotic diseases (infectious agents spread from animals to humans). Her passion to protect the health of the human-animal bond led her to pursue veterinary school. Dr. Friedenson has published several articles in peer-reviewed research journals.

Dr. Friedenson is delighted to have returned to the Twin Cities, her hometown, after many years away. She lives in South Minneapolis with her husband, two feisty toddlers, and her incredibly lazy dog.

Dr. Erika Wehmhoff

Dr. Erika Wehmhoff earned a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine. While in school, she was very involved with student organizations and loved sharing her experiences through the student ambassador program. Dr. Wehmhoff developed a love of urgent care as a fourth-year student after the availability of these services helped her with her own pets many times. It inspired her to complete rotations at several urgent cares before completing her degree and starting her career as a doctor in this unique field.

A lifelong resident of Minnesota, Dr. Wehmhoff enjoys the variety of experiences this beautiful state has to offer. From car camping to backpacking, biking to hiking, restaurants to theaters, she likes to utilize her time outside of work to the fullest. Her companions in these adventures are her husband, her two dogs (a rescue mix and a German Shepherd), and a dynamic duo of cats. When she’s not out and about, Dr. Wehmhoff loves to cook, bake and crochet anything in a square or rectangle. She’s a lover of music, yoga, and dancing in the kitchen, and is genuinely enthusiastic about most things in life!

Delaney Edison

Delaney Edison grew up in the Pacific Northwest and since a young age, she has always had a love and passion for animals and their well-being. From her parent’s home in Vancouver, WA which housed various animals to her current home in Red Wing, MN which she shares with her two spunky toddlers, her husband, and pack of dogs and cats.

Delaney started in the veterinary medical field in 2013 as a Certified Veterinary Technician and has since held many positions, from Director of Operations from West Columbia Gorge Humane Society to her current position as the Practice Manager for WellHaven Pet Health Bloomington.

When she is not fighting the good fight of animal welfare, Delaney enjoys baking, crime dramas, scoping out the newest pizza places, spending quality time with friends and family, and of course anything with four legs and fur.
