Maple Grove Veterinarians

Coral Riggs, DVM, Owner

Dr. Riggs started North Paws Veterinary Clinic in 2014 in Maple Grove MN. Since then, the clinic has grown and Urgent Care services were started in 2020 during the pandemic to help, not only our clinic, but surrounding clinics struggling to see outpatient sick pets the same day. Dr. Riggs is passionate about making veterinary careers sustainable and healthy for both doctors and support staff, along with encouraging private small business ownership.

In her free time, Dr. Riggs enjoys hiking/walking with her husband, Matt, and two dogs (Hazel and Jules), cuddling with her cat (Silas), gardening, camping (aka "glamping" in her Airstream Basecamp camper), fat-tire biking, eating out at fun restaurants in the Twin Cities area, having a beer at breweries with friends, RPG PC gaming, and arts n' crafts.
