Meet Our Team
HANS GANN, DVM
Dr. Hans Gann grew up in rural Osage County where he graduated from Barnsdall High School in 2001. Growing up on a farm with a menagerie of pets and being actively involved with the local 4-H chapter caused Dr. Gann to develop a love for animals at a very early age. He attended Oklahoma State University (Go Pokes!) where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science in 2005 and his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. Dr. Gann moved to Tulsa following graduation, where he lives with a small herd of dogs, a bird, pig, and about half a dozen fish. In his spare time, he enjoys traveling, spending time with family and friends, going to the lake, and working on his house. Dr. Gann joined the Edgewood team in September of 2018.
BRAD HOWARD, DVM
Dr. Brad Howard is Edgewood’s skillful surgeon and has been providing excellent diagnostic and wellness care to our patients for over 15 years. Dr. Howard is also a graduate of Oklahoma State University and is seldom seen without his OSU orange watch! Dr. Howard’s joyful and charismatic nature helps keep everyone at Edgewood motivated and upbeat. Patients and clients, too, appreciate his positive attitude, thorough nature, and attention to detail as he sees them through their pet’s care before, during, and after surgery.
Katie Odam, DVM
We would like to introduce Dr Katie Odam. Dr. Odam is a recent graduate of OSU but has been part of the Edgewood family her entire life. Dr. Odam is married and has a little boy who is just turning 2. She enjoys the beach, reading, and spending time with friends and family. She has 2 dogs and in true veterinary style has already added a kitten to her household.
KRISTI
Kristi joined the Edgewood family in 2011. She is the smiling face that greets so many of our clients as they come in the door. Kristi has the biggest heart and treats every dog and cat like she would her own. Not even one month after joining our team, Kristi (who was already the proud parent of 5 boisterous canines) welcomed a poor puppy that had been abandoned at our doorstep into her home. She makes a point to attend to their individual needs whether that is finding the pet a quieter place to rest, providing extra blankets for our senior pets, or giving extra walks to our active and young pets throughout the day. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her two beautiful grandbabies, Scarlett and Audrey.
MISSIE
Missie started her veterinary assistant career in 1982. She has worked for several veterinary practices; including the Tulsa Animal Shelter and the Tulsa SPCA. She has been a member of Companion Dog School of Tulsa for 30 years where she teaches puppy kindergarten classes. For the past 35 years Missie has run the Green Country Pembroke Welsh Corgi Rescue. She is also a member of Gaitway Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club and the Pembroke Welsh Corgi Club of America. Can you guess her favorite breed? She has been married for 37 years and has two sons and a daughter-in-law. Missie is pleased to be a part of the Edgewood family and enjoys meeting all of the clients and their furry family members.
