Dr. Molly Welle, DVM
Dr. Welle grew up in Fargo, North Dakota and in 2004 received a B.S. in Biology as well as a minor in Art History from University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She went on to earn her DVM degree from Colorado State University in 2009 and joined Glacier Animal Hospital after graduating. Dr. Welle also spent some time in Ohio practicing medicine in several animal shelters and rescues.

The aspects of veterinary medicine Dr. Welle likes the most are connecting with clients by making a positive impact in their pet’s lives, the opportunity for lifelong learning, and the variety of cases and challenges seen every day.

Dr. Lauren Robinson, DVM
Dr. Robinson grew up in the small town of Flushing, Michigan with the goal of becoming a veterinarian since she was eight years old. She played community collegiate volleyball at Mott Community College for two years where she obtained multiple associate’s degrees. She then transferred to The University of Michigan-Flint where she later obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Biology. Dr. Robinson graduated with her veterinary degree from Michigan State University in 2020. She worked at a twenty-four-hour animal care center in Wisconsin right out of veterinary school, and one and a half years ago she and her husband made the decision to move out west to the lovely Montana.


Dr. Robinson loves working at a small animal general practice where the clinic sees a little bit of everything. Forming bonds with her patients and their owners is one of her favorite parts of the job.


When she is not at work, she and her husband are either hiking, biking, swimming or snowboarding. They enjoy renovating their tiny house on wheels and playing with their three-legged kitten named Hershel. Dr. Robinson also enjoys reading, playing video games and binge-watching tv shows.
