Evan Ward DVM, DMV, CCRT (canine/feline)
Associate Veterinarian — Upleash Veterinary Hospital
Dr. Evan Ward believes that what makes veterinary medicine rewarding extends beyond the medicine itself; it is the relationships built with pets and their families. Every pet has a unique story, and every family places tremendous trust in their veterinary team. He values taking the time to educate clients and work together to develop treatment plans that reflect each pet’s needs as well as each family’s goals and circumstances.
Dr. Ward’s interest in veterinary medicine began with an early appreciation for the sciences and a desire to help pets live healthier, more active lives. He began his education at Augustana University in Sioux Falls before continuing to Purdue University, where he earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
Throughout his training and career, he has developed particular interests in surgery, dentistry, dermatology, sports medicine, and rehabilitation while enjoying the variety of general veterinary medicine. To further his knowledge in mobility, injury recovery, and performance, Dr. Ward completed advanced training through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute and became a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT).
Outside the clinic, Dr. Ward enjoys spending time outdoors, hiking, fishing, and playing pickleball. He also spends plenty of time keeping his Labrador, Bruno, active and busy throughout the fall, hunting across the prairie and in the wetlands.
At Upleash, Dr. Ward is proud to be part of a team that believes exceptional medicine and genuine compassion should go hand in hand. He is excited to return to Sioux Falls and help build Upleash into a veterinary hospital known not only for the quality of its medicine, but also for the trust, relationships, and experience it provides to pets and their families.
