Dr. Ladner is originally from southern Illinois and he can’t remember a time he didn’t want to be a veterinarian. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Illinois in May 2023.  

At Community Pet Hospital, Dr. Ladner seeks to put both the patients and their families at ease while providing high-quality medical care and minimizing their stress. Dr. Ladner's interests include internal medicine, oncology, cardiology, ultrasound, and pain management.

When Dr. Ladner is not seeing patients, he loves spending time with his animals- a rescue lab mix, a Great Pyrenees, and one sassy cat! In his free time, he enjoys playing guitar, reading, camping and hiking, and exploring Colorado!
