Dr. Amy Klauer is a graduate of Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. She became an integral part of Fairview Veterinary Clinic in 2019. Veterinary Medicine has been her livelihood from day one. She grew up watching her father practice and run his own veterinary clinic and she constantly begged to tag along with him every chance she got. She has never known anything else and firmly believes that when you love what you do, it often doesn’t feel like work. She appreciates the variety of a mixed animal practice, where no two days are the same. According to Dr. Klauer, it keeps her intrigued and constantly yearning to learn new things and stay up-to-date for the benefit of her patients. Dr. Amy Klauer and her husband moved from Western Nebraska three years ago and now they’re excited to bring more opportunities and value to the Jefferson, Iowa area. Owning a veterinary clinic with her husband is definitely a dream come true!

Dr. Amy Klauer enjoys the outdoors with her family and her three young children constantly keep life entertaining. When they aren’t enjoying sunsets on their patio after a long day’s work, they can be found walking, hiking, fishing, taking the dogs for a run, and enjoying an evening out with friends.

She shares her home with an array of dogs of every shape and size – from 95 pounds down to 12 pounds and everything in between. They have Cooper the Duetsch Langhaar, Quinn the Llewellin Setter, Piper the German Shorthair, Brooke the Australian Shepherd, Stella the Standard Poodle, and Maggie the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Dr. Klauer also loves Ragdoll cats and has been raising them for over a decade. The kitties keep their family busy with their antics and her kids adore cuddle time with them. They also have a variety of cattle, geese, ducks, chickens, and maybe more in the future.

Dr. Charles Martin brings decades of experience in mixed animal veterinary medicine to Fairview Veterinary Clinic. He enjoys the variety that each day brings and values the opportunity to help both animals and the people who care for them.

Dr. Martin completed three years of pre-veterinary studies at the University of Nebraska before earning his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1977. After graduation, he joined Fairview Veterinary Clinic in Lexington, Nebraska, eventually becoming the practice owner and expanding with a second clinic in Elwood. From 1977 to 2019, he cared for a wide range of companion animals and livestock while serving local cattle operations, feedlots, and the Lexington Livestock Market. He also spent more than 20 years consulting with leading commercial swine companies.

Although he officially retired in 2019, retirement only lasted about two weeks before he returned to consulting and relief veterinary work. Outside of the clinic, he enjoys traveling to Nebraska to help his son on a large cow-calf ranch.

Dr. Martin shares his home with Bo, an Australian Shepherd, and Copper, an English Setter mix. His wealth of knowledge, dedication to veterinary medicine, and commitment to serving both animals and their owners make him a valued member of the Fairview Veterinary Clinic team.
