Dr. Van Gundy grew up in a small town near Ames, IA, but knew from a very young age she wanted to move to Colorado thanks to her ski loving father. After graduating from Iowa State University in 2008 with a degree in Animal Science, Libby moved to Summit County to enjoy all the mountains have to offer. Veterinary school led her further west to southern California where she attended Western University of Health Sciences. She and her husband Ryan, a Frisco native, always knew they wanted to raise kids and put down roots closer to family. In 2017 they moved back to Frisco and have never looked back! In her free time Dr. Van Gundy enjoys skiing, hiking with their Australian Shepherd Jackson, mountain biking, and paddle boarding on Lake Dillon on their six man paddle board! She has a passion for preventative medicine, dentistry, and cultivating the human animal bond.
