About Vet

Hi there! My name is Matthew Dykstra and I am a second-generation, associate veterinarian at my family’s practice in Delaware where I work with my father, wife and sister. My mom was the veterinarian who started our practice about 20 years ago so veterinary medicine runs in my blood! I enjoy small and large animal medicine. I was an associate veterinarian at a mixed practice in Texas for 2 years and I am looking to continue practicing on large animals. I am constantly looking to learn new things and love being outside. I have 4 dogs and a cat and several more to come!

There is only so much that can be done over a call, but Dr. Dykstra was kind, patient, and reassuring. It was nice to have an expert opinion without rushing to the ER.
