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.

Jordan Laseke, DVM

Dr. Laseke attended the University of Wisconsin - Madison School of Veterinary Medicine to obtain his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, and has an undergraduate background in zoology and environmental studies. His professional interests include preventative care, internal medicine and feline medicine.

He is currently working on adopting a new cat to add to the household. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking (especially Mediterranean style foods), seasonal activities (hiking, bonfires, ice skating, farmer's markets), game nights with friends, and exercising (running and weights). He has had many pets in the past, including dogs, cats, fish, cockatiels, and rats.

Joshua Hewitt, DVM

Dr. Hewitt grew up in Cedar Rapids, IA prior to attending Iowa State University for both his undergraduate degree (BS Animal Science) and veterinary school (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine). After school, Dr. Hewitt lived in La Crosse, WI for four years where he worked in a small animal hospital providing both general practice and emergency care services. Dr. Hewitt joined North Paws Veterinary Clinic in July 2025 and he looks forward to helping take care of the pets of the community. His areas of particular interest include ophthalmology, dentistry, and preventative care.

Dr. Hewitt's hobbies include cooking and baking, outdoors activities such as casual camping/fishing/hiking, reading, and board games/video games. He looks forward to exploring the parks, museums, and other attractions the Twin Cities have to offer. Dr. Hewitt currently has one cat but is open to adding more furry companions.
