Meet Your Dedicated Ham Lake Veterinary Team

Dr. Tomas I. Egoavil, DVM, is originally from Caracas, Venezuela. He attended Florida International University, where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Biology. He then graduated from the University of Minnesota and received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. He has worked with Dr. Gauer and Dr. Green at Ham Lake Veterinary Hospital since 2019. Dr. Egoavil speaks fluent English and Spanish.

Dr. Egoavil enjoys hiking the trails throughout Minnesota and visiting his family and the ocean in Florida. He has a very sweet rescue dog named Rita from Alabama.

Dr. Paul Gauer grew up by the Mississippi River in Ramsey, Minnesota, and earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at the University of Minnesota in 1993. He founded the Ham Lake Veterinary Hospital in 2005, and in 2014 his wife Dr. Amy Green Gauer started the Isanti Pet Clinic. When away from the office Dr. Gauer enjoys spending time with Amy, whether it’s golfing, canoeing the BWCAW, or spending time with Amy’s grown triplet sons. He also likes getting out in the woods with Rei, a Brittney Spaniel, who also comes to the office with him daily.

My name is Hannah, and I have been at Ham Lake Vet since 2019. I have always loved animals and knew since I was little that I’d have a career working with them one day. I couldn’t picture myself doing anything different! When I’m not at work, I spend time with my daughter, fiancé, and four fur babies, Callie, Winston, Sox, and Achilles!

I’ve loved animals since I was a kid; my goal is to go back to school to become a CVT and work in an equine hospital or a zoo. I’ve got four animals of my own that keep me pretty busy. I love riding, reading, hiking, kayaking, scuba diving, and traveling domestically and internationally. I’d love to learn a couple of new languages, photography, vegetable gardening, and calligraphy.

Hi, I’m Stephanie. I’ve been a part of the Ham Lake team since January 2021. I work part-time as a vet assistant while also attending vet school at the University of Minnesota. I love to spend a little bit of free time with friends, family, and my dog Lucy!

Hello! My name is Mel, and I am a Ham Lake Veterinary Hospital receptionist. I am new to the small animal vet world but so far love it. I live with my fiancé, three dogs, two goats, and two horses, and I have a baby on the way.
