Dr. Frank Coleman

Frank graduated with highest honors from WSU College of Veterinary Medicine in 1982. His love of the outdoors and the cattle ranching lifestyle attracted him to the Weiser Veterinary clinic shortly after graduation.

Dr. Coleman had plans of working in Weiser for a couple of years and eventually return to his home state of Montana. In 1984, however, Dr. Coleman had the opportunity to become an owner and partner at the Weiser Veterinary Clinic. He has practiced medicine in our rural area ever since. He met and fell in love with a local young lady and married his wife, Cindy, shortly thereafter. Together, they raised a son, Trent and daughter, Shelby. Both kids were very active in sports, rodeo and FFA.

Throughout his career, Frank has become a familiar face in our community. He has always been a friend to all creatures, big and small, however as of late, he enjoys working with production animals and equine. Frank has traveled many miles, has seen many cases and loves to continue to learn more about veterinary medicine. He has become a large asset to the local ranchers to aid in raising healthy livestock as well as helping to treat those who fall ill. He works tirelessly with local drug company representatives to allow our producers access to the latest in vaccines and medical treatments.

His biggest goal is to continue to provide the highest quality and compassionate care for all animals in the area. In his spare time, Frank enjoys his quiet time fishing in a remote pond, hunting the foothills and mountains in Idaho, riding and packing mules into the wilderness of the Selway of Northern Idaho and hiking. He also enjoys a good branding with local ranchers and family.





Dr. Dennis Johnson

Dr. Jennie Walker

Dr. Jennie Walker has a strong livestock and farming background. She was born in Ellensburg, Washington and later moved to Ritzville. Her journey as a budding veterinarian started young as she settled under the wing of a local veterinarian, Mary Widman. She watched in awe as Dr. Widman would work on her families’ cattle, hogs and horses.

Jennie was very active in 4-H and FFA, winning national awards in horse judging and parliamentary procedure contests. She also started her own herd of registered Angus cattle and traveled with her family, showing her stock all over the Pacific Northwest. Her dad’s cow herd stems from those very bloodlines, handpicked by Jennie herself. Her family also raised and drove Percheron Draft horses while she competed in rodeo and basketball.

Jennie became part of the Weiser Veterinary Clinic family in 2002, shortly after graduating from Washington State University. Initially, she was geared toward production and food animal practice but later gravitated toward mixed animal practice. She has an affinity for small animal dermatology and internal medicine. Jennie still enjoys the challenges of the production side of practice including dystocias and calving.

Jennie married Conley Walker, a local saddle maker, in 2005. Together, they have a daughter, Claire and son, John. When she isn’t working at the clinic, Jennie enjoys spending time with her family and helping on the family ranch. She also enjoys seafood and working around her home.
