About Us

Dr. Stoddart graduated from Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014. A rotating internship in small animal medicine and surgery brought her to the University of Minnesota, and upon completion of this program in 2015, she had already fallen in love with the Twin Cities. Dr. Stoddart joined the staff of Lyndale Animal Hospital in October 2018.

Her primary interests in veterinary medicine include internal medicine, cardiology, and care for geriatric patients. Outside of work, Dr. Stoddart loves to travel, with particular interest in trying new foods. She otherwise enjoys getting outdoors, taking along her dog Wendell whenever possible.

Dr. Olsson graduated from Iowa State in 2017. She started at a small animal practice in Wisconsin, moved to the Twin Cities in 2020, and joined Lyndale Animal Hospital in September of 2025.

Dr. Olsson enjoys the variety of general practice, and is dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care. She treats pets as an important part of the family, and understands that each has their own unique personality and needs. Outside of the clinic, Dr. Olsson enjoys traveling, hiking, and going to concerts. She is the proud pet parent of three cats – Millie, Stubbz, and Wonton.

As Operations Manager at LAH, Ally brings years of experience in the veterinary world and a true passion for animals of all shapes and sizes. She started her career as a Licensed Veterinary Technician before stepping into management roles in dog boarding and daycare facilities, and eventually found her way back to her first love—veterinary medicine.

At home, her life is happily full of pets, including her pittie mix Torino, her “heinz 57” pup Tatum, a quirky Sphynx cat named Taffy, and a bearded dragon named Fern. When she’s not at the clinic, you can usually find her trying out a new craft, soaking up all things Halloween and spooky season, or enjoying time with family and friends.

She loves being a part of the LAH team and is excited to continue supporting both clients and their furry family members.
