Compassion, Experience, and Integrity

From day one, Dr. Ellis and his wife, Dr. Mandi Holland, built their practice around a simple principle: tell the truth and do right by every patient. Their approach is hands-on and heartfelt, combining advanced medicine with practical experience earned from decades of large and small animal work.

“We’re a practice that centers a lot of effort on obtaining the proper diagnosis. That’s what sets us apart.”
Dr. Ellis Farstvedt

The Beartooth team includes a board-certified surgeon, small and large animal veterinarians, and skilled technicians who share the same commitment to careful diagnosis and honest communication. Whether it is a family pet or a working horse, clients can expect a thorough, thoughtful plan of care every time.

Advanced Medicine, Local Heart

Modern technology meets Montana roots here. Beartooth Animal Hospital is equipped for laser therapy, dermatology light treatments, CO₂ surgical lasers, and laparoscopy. Yet the spirit of the practice remains personal and grounded in community.

“Sometimes the veterinarian has to be the one that stands up for the horse and says, here’s what happened. We just tell the truth and deal with the consequences.”
Dr. Ellis Farstvedt
