Dr. Karen Beetch
Dr. Beetch was raised in SE Kansas in the small rural town of Oswego. She grew up on an 80 acre farm participating in the family farm obligations and helping out in the summers with the family owned Korinek Brothers Sawmill. She grew her appreciation for animals and animal health by dedicating 10+ years to her local 4-H chapter. She raised and showed horses, sheep, and rabbits through the Labette county fair. After her 1st grade decision to become a Veterinarian and her high school FFA teacher encouraging her to achieve her goals, she started her veterinary medicine dream by attending Pittsburg State University to start her undergraduate studies. She attended PSU for 2 years and then transferred to Kansas State University where she attended and graduated from the KSU College of Veterinary Medicine in May of 1996.
Dr. Beetch recently changed career pathways when she left a mixed animal practice after 13 years of service to join Indian Hills Animal Clinic in August of 2016 (Some may still remember her as Dr. Thompson). She is excited to concentrate her efforts on small animal medicine with interests in: soft tissue and orthopedic surgery, exotic animal medicine, dermatology, ophthalmology, internal medicine and preventative medicine. She truly appreciates the human-animal bond and enjoys helping people with their 4 legged fur babies!
Dr. Beetch resides in Newton with her husband Kevin. They have a very active family with 3 grown children and 2 still at home. In her free time, you will find her attending their children’s sports and music events. When she can find some free time she likes to volunteer for local charities, spend time on nature walks, bike riding, photography, and crafts.
Dr. Amber Robinson
Amber grew up in Wichita, Kansas where she started pursuing her dream of becoming a veterinarian at the age of 16 by working at Indian Hills Animal Clinic as an animal care assistant while in high school. She then attended Kansas State University and received her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science in 2011. Amber went on to attend Veterinary College at Kansas State University and graduated with her DVM in 2013. After graduation, she was an associate veterinarian in Katy, Texas, but quickly grew tired of being 9 hours away from family! She moved back to Kansas and took an associate’s position at a clinic near Kansas City. There she practiced for the last seven years. In May 2021 she started working at Indian Hills Animal Clinic which allowed her to be back in her hometown! Professionally, she has a great interest in small animal internal medicine, preventative care, and diagnostic medicine.
