Meet Our Veterinarians

Dr. Diane Grede

Growing up in West Allis, a suburb of Milwaukee, Diane always knew she was going to be a veterinarian. Since the age of 4, her only goal in life was to be an “Animal Doctor”.  Her goals never wavered while growing up. She attended Carroll College and Michigan State University for undergraduate bachelor degrees in Biology and Chemistry, followed by post-graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin – Madison School of Veterinary Medicine. She graduated with Honors with her D.V.M. degree in 1992.

In her first five years in practice, Dr. Diane worked in Beaver Dam doing large & small animal medicine, but decided to pursue small animal medicine exclusively when she moved to Oshkosh in 1998. She was the sole veterinarian when The Animal Hospital of Oshkosh opened in 1998 and purchased the business outright from the previous owner in 2001.

Under Dr. Diane's leadership, the Animal Hospital of Oshkosh has now grown to include 4 veterinarians, 16 support staff, and a new 5000-sq ft facility which opened in February, 2006.

Dr. Diane's veterinary interests include an interest in endocrinology which is the study of glands and hormones that influence or regulate other organs in the body.  Her particular interest in this area is the study and treatment of diabetes mellitus.  She also has strong interests in surgery and exotic animal medicine, including treatment of reptiles and rabbits.

“I will do my absolute best to make you and your pet welcome and comfortable. I will spend the necessary time with you to listen, understand and correct any veterinary concerns you have about your pet. I believe in clear communication and working together with you to make informed decisions regarding your pet’s health care. I strive to provide the highest quality veterinary care with a relaxed, personal touch.”

In Dr. Diane’s spare time she enjoys working on her country home, outdoor activities, such as biking or hiking, and scuba diving. She lives near Oshkosh with her husband Brad and their 2 dogs (Hazel and Auggie) and 3 cats (Emma, Stella and Sheena).
