Brian Hansen
DVMAlthough born in Connecticut, Dr. Brian Hansen has considered himself a Minnesota transplant since he stepped foot in the “land of lakes” while visiting veterinary schools. After serving seven years in the United States Marine Corps, which provided a different kind of education and unique perspective, Brian graduated from the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. While Dr. Hansen’s wife, Dr. Donnell Hansen (a Roseville native and also a veterinarian) completed an internship at Oklahoma State University, he began his veterinary career in Perkins, Oklahoma where in addition to treating the typical dogs, cats, and cattle, Brian endearingly became the goat doctor by the local producers. And yes, as is rumored in Oklahoma, he and his wife indeed enjoyed many afternoons using their hands as bait while wading through Oklahoma’s stained red river banks “noodling” for catfish. Since returning to Minnesota in 2006, Brian has worked locally and now feels at home after opening Rice Creek Animal Hospital in 2011. The Hansen’s have loved being a part of this community and often support local schools and events. Dr. Hansen’s wife, Donnell, is a board certified veterinary dentist and oral surgeon with BluePearl Veterinary Partners, a referral veterinary hospital in Eden Prairie and Blaine. Although she does not work at Rice Creek, you may see her pop by the hospital from time to time to visit with their work family. At home, Brian is no longer a veterinarian but a dad to two beloved kids. You can often find them in the backyard practicing their archery or rounding up the chicken flock. If you ever catch a day that he is not in the hospital (or you show up over the noon hour), chances are Brian is out pursuing his next passion- practical shooting. You know what they say, “once a marine, always a marine.” Want to know more? Just ask Dr. Hansen about his days riding bulls and bucking horses with the Military Rodeo Cowboys Association and Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association or his time spent rescuing giraffes, relocating rhinos, and working on cape buffalo in South Africa!

Gregg Phillips
DVMDr. Phillips joined our team in 2018 to round out your Rice Creek Animal Hospital doctor team. Dr. Phillips works full time so there is no doubt you will visit him from time to time. He joins us with a ton of experience, lots of heart, and a gentle calm demeanor (with this quirky touch of humor). You will enjoy his easy atmosphere with an obviously loving heart. Here is a little about him, so you all can get up to speed. Dr. Phillips should really be called Dr. Phillips (doctor times two!). After earning his biology degree from Macalaster College, he continued his training to receive both a Master of Science and Ph.D. in Human Anatomy and Cell Biology from the University of Michigan in the late eighties. You will have to ask him about all of his teaching experience as he taught anatomy and biology courses at all academic levels, many here close to home (who knows… maybe he was your professor?). Heck, you may have even benefitted from his biomedical research in muscle regeneration, wound healing and blood vessel growth. We are working on hearing all the crazy stories from that chapter of his life… human anatomists always have a good tale to tell at cocktail parties. In those days, Dr. Phillips started adventuring with a Siberian Husky sled dog team. The bond that developed between him and the dogs while standing on the runners through Minnesota winters fostered an interest in veterinary medicine. And who wouldn’t go back to get another doctorate degree? After graduating from the University of Minnesota’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2004, Dr. Phillips has been enjoying veterinary medicine ever since. And to make him even cooler, Dr. Phillips used to be the head veterinarian for the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon that runs from Duluth up the North Shore of Lake Superior and back. Dr. Phillips lives in the suburbs with his wife. With his kids now grown, he enjoys the company of a spotted dog named Fredd while he enjoys a lazy afternoon reading or playing the guitar. Please know, no matter what doctor you see here at Rice Creek, we hope you get the same sensation that we love what we do and are here, simply to keep you and your pet enjoying each other’s company for as long as life will allow.

Katie Gilbertson
DVMDr. Katie Gilbertson grew up in Detroit Lakes, the heart of lake country in Minnesota. She was raised on a dairy farm, now turned beef farm. Amongst the cows, Katie was surrounded by a variety of animals including chickens, pigs, horses, pheasants, and of course cats and dogs. She achieved her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, MN. After college, she started working at animal hospitals beginning as a receptionist and working her way up to a technician position. Eight years later, Katie could no longer ignore her dream of becoming a veterinarian and started veterinary school at Iowa State University. After graduating in 2017, she was excited to move back to Minnesota and started practicing as a mixed animal veterinarian, mostly working with dairy cattle. After a couple of years, Katie decided to switch to exclusively small animal practice and moved to the twin cities. She worked at a local veterinary clinic in the twin cities for the past 2.5 years and recently joined the team at Rice Creek Animal Hospital. Her professional interests include preventative medicine, dentistry, soft tissue surgery, cardiology and ophthalmology. In her free time, she enjoys walks with her dog, golfing, playing the piano, kayaking, BBQs, attempting to keep her house plants alive and checking out local restaurants and breweries. She shares her house with a terrier mix (Tucker), a Corgi (Phoebe), and three cats (Koby, Millie, and Milo).
