Serving the community through the practice of quality veterinary medicine by using my knowledge to benefit the community through the protection of animal health and welfare, relief of animal suffering, and protecting animal resources.

Community Veterinary Clinic’s journey serving the community has begun. However, it has been a dream in the making for twenty years. Dr. Sherrie Pleis and her husband have been looking to get back to Story County ever since they graduated from Iowa State University. As their friends and family settled in Story County the desire to come back home became evident. By taking a chance Community Veterinary Clinic was born.

The inspiration for community in the veterinary world came from the books of James Herriot. His books inspired Dr. Pleis to have a desire to serve people and animals alike. Sherrie has deep respect for the animal human bond and the preservation of the livestock industry. Our goal is to have a long history of serving Story County.

Dr. Sherrie Pleis graduated from Iowa State University’s college of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. She has special interests in soft tissue surgery, preventative medicine, and community outreach. Dr. Pleis enjoys talking and teaching 4H, FFA and school children about her passion of veterinary medicine. In her free times Dr. Pleis enjoys spending time with her dogs, Hope and Luke, and husband Mark. She also enjoys quilting, hanging with friends and family, and volunteering at Food at First.
