Dr. Carrie Frey earned her Bachelor of Science in Veterinary Science from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1993, followed by her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Kansas State University in 1997. After graduation, she began her career at a small animal clinic near Kansas City, Missouri, before returning home to Lincoln in 1998 to join Nebraska Animal Medical Center as an associate veterinarian. Fittingly, Dr. Frey’s journey with NAMC began years earlier—she first worked here as a kennel staff member during her pre-veterinary studies in 1989.

Dr. Frey’s professional interests include internal medicine, abdominal ultrasound, oncology, and the care of exotic pets such as small mammals and select reptiles. She deeply values the human-animal bond and finds great fulfillment in helping pet owners keep their beloved companions healthy. She also has a special soft spot for dachshunds! Dr. Frey is a proud member of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the Nebraska Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA).

Outside of work, Dr. Frey enjoys spending time with her husband—who is also a veterinarian—and their three children: Daniel, Emily, and Grant. Their family also includes a dachshund named Howie and a cat named Kiki. In her free time, Dr. Frey loves attending her children’s activities, bowling, reading, and working on crafts.
