Our Doctors

Our Doctors are setting a new standard for care, compassion, and commitment.
They take continuing education courses to further their expertise and knowledge so that they can provide the most current medical care for your four legged family member.

Our doctors are  firm believers in mentorship and education.  They mentor veterninary students from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, as well as college students from MacMurray and Illinois. They are also a clinical training site for John Woods Community College Veterinary Assistant Program. They give talks and demonstrations to various groups and organizations on just about any veterinary subject.

Dr. Joseph Koch has been a part of the practice since 1989.
Lincoln Land Animal Clinic had been a strictly large animal practice. Dr. Joe missed the small animal side of practice when he joined Lincoln Land Animal Clinic, so he started seeing small animals.  Since then the small animal side has grown tremendously, as has Dr, Joe's reputation for his kind and gentle demeanor.

Dr. Colleen Koch  joined the Lincoln Land Animal Clinic team in 2001. Dr. Colleen enjoys the medical challenges of small animal medicine as well as the days outside on farm calls. She is also has a strong interest in positive pet training and preventing behavior problems.

Dr. Linda Harmon-Dodge  is a veterinarian that went on to get certified in veterinary acupuncture and chiropractic medicine. She comes to the clinic monthly to provide her services for both small animals and horses.  Dr. Linda also provides relief services for Dr. Colleen and Dr. Joe when they must be away from the clinic. Her familiarity with our clinic and patients makes everyone feel comfortable while the Dr Koch's are away.  For more information about Dr. Linda's services, please visit her website.
