John grew up on a registered Angus ranch in North Dakota and attended North Dakota State University receiving a BS in microbiology.
John next attended Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine with the intent of becoming a large animal veterinarian until falling in love with small animal surgery. He then completed a residency at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in small animal surgery. Post residency, he worked at 24/7 referral centers in Illinois and Indiana. He later moved to Wisconsin and opened a specialty and emergency care facility several years prior to co-founding Madison Veterinary Specialists. Dr. Silbernagel is a board-certified small animal surgeon and a member of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, Veterinary Orthopedic Society, American Veterinarian Medical Association, American Animal Hospital Association serving on their board of directors for two terms, Wisconsin-VMA and Dane County-VMA. He appreciates the collaboration found at multi-specialty emergency facilities which offer the highest level of care and service to clients and their pets by allowing different disciplines to consult with each other on the same case. When not working, Dr. Silbernagel can often be found spending time with family — camping, biking, skiing, or enjoying other outdoor activities. He also considers himself a “foodie,” and enjoys cooking up new recipes and discovering new wines. |
