Dr Chris Olson grew up in Madison and graduated from the UW school of Veterinary Medicine in 1994.  An interest in science and a desire to help people led Dr. Olson into veterinary medicine.  She joined CVVS in September of 2000 and is practicing small animal medicine and surgery.  Dr Olson has previously worked at an emergency clinic and other small animal practices.

     Dr. Olson loves the variety of her job as a small animal veterinarian. One moment she could be performing an exploratory surgery and the next examining a sick animal or a puppy for their first visit to the vet. She enjoys surgery, critical care, internal medicine and preventive care. Her special interests consist of ultrasound, soft tissue surgery, preventive and exotic medicine.

     She and her husband, Ron, have 2 daughters, Kaitryn and Aeryn, and 2 dogs, Sansa and Badger.  They all live in McFarland. She enjoys family, running, swimming, learning, and camping.
