Meet Our Doctors


Ryan Zinke, DVM

Dr. Ryan Zinke grew up in Mendota, Illinois, where he gained an interest in veterinary medicine through his experiences helping his grandparents on their farms.  He studied Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois and graduated from the College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004 with an interest in bovine, equine, and companion animal medicine.  After graduation, Dr. Zinke moved to Morrison to join the Morrison Veterinary Clinic team in June 2004.  His favorite aspects of working as a veterinarian at the Morrison Veterinary Clinic are “delivering newborns (even calves in the middle of winter), having the challenge of diagnosing and treating animals' diseases,  and having a staff and community to work with that feels like family.”   When not working, he enjoys running local road races, spending time with his wife and three daughters, and taking care of his family's dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, and three bunnies.
