Kimberly M. Stanz DVM, DACVO

Board Certified in Veterinary Ophthalmology

Buffalo Native Sweethome School

Kimberly Mary Stanz is a native Buffalonian who graduated from the Sweet Home High School district. She attended and graduated from Canisius College in 1987 with her undergraduate degree (BA) and then went on to Cornell University where she graduated first in her class, receiving her degree in Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM).

Dr. Stanz then went on to complete a small animal internship at Auburn University followed by a 3-year residency in comparative veterinary ophthalmology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 1995 she became Board Certified in Veterinary Ophthalmology and returned to Buffalo to practice her specialty. In 2000 she started her own practice (Animal Eye Care of Western New York, PC) the first and only practice in Western New York specifically dedicated to the care of the eyes of animals. In October 2003 she built a new home for her practice located in Lancaster while she continues to service Rochester patients at a satellite clinic (Mendon Village Animal Hospital).

In 1999, she married Bob Mladenovic and they share their home with "Tanner," a black Labrador Retriever, and lots and lots of cats (Frappacino, Bucko, Scrunch, Asti, Iris, Bert, Ruby, Venti, Tang, Tazo, Pinkie, Catco and a stray that adopted her).

She loves artwork and art festivals, (or just shopping in general), snowmobiling with Bob and friends, and she enjoys wine tasting in the Finger Lakes. Both Dr. Stanz and Bob love animals, in general, and enjoy collecting and rescuing cats! Our community is very honored to have her settle here in Western New York where she has helped many of our beloved pets with their eye problems. She truly is a pet’s best friend and advocate; Dr. Stanz treats each and every patient like it is one of her own, and with the greatest compassion (lots of treats), respect, and love.

- "To all our clients and their pets that I have known and loved - I hope you all are well! I miss you." MEOW

I have worked in the Veterinary field as a receptionist since 1985 and was employed at Animal Eye Care in October 2004. I had the advantage of working with Dr. Stanz before she began her own practice and am now delighted that I can "be there" for her clients, and their pets.... to help them see.

I also appreciate serving as receptionist for Buffalo Academy of Veterinary Medicine.

I love Home, Kitties, Family, and Friends.

KITTIES:

Renea Reed, LVT

Renea Reed (Licensed Veterinary Technician) graduated from Medaille College and received her Associates in Science Degree in 1995. Renea was fortunate to work with Dr .Stanz before and during the creation of Animal Eye Care. She has now returned, and she is excited to renew her love of Ophthalmology.

Renea shares her home with two Pugs: “Winston “(pug genius-pictured), “Gracie Lou Freebush” and “Montgomery” and “Alley“ who are felines. Both of her pugs were “rescued” from families who couldn’t pursue surgery to fix melting ulcers on their eyes. Both Winston and Gracie underwent Conjunctival graft surgery to save their eyes and vision. According to the tennis balls, squeak toys and squirrels, they have recovered their sight wonderfully!
