SDEP® Certified Sonographer

Clinical Mobile Sonographer Sara Hansen co-heads Animal Sounds NW, fueled by SonoPath. A fifteen-year veteran of the field, Sara has worked within general practice, emergency, large animal, and specialty work throughout the Pacific Northwest. In 2021, she received her SDEP® certification, and joined the Animal Sounds NW team.

Sara’s passion for science fosters her continued studies within veterinary medicine including radiology, CT, endoscopy, ultrasound, laser treatments, MRI, and rhinoscopy. Her focus on non-invasive diagnostic efficiency led Sara to become a star instructor at SonoPath Education Center’s SDEP® lab weekends.  

Outside of her work with mobile ultrasound, Sara is an avid bird hunter and trains bird dogs. She lives in the Eugene area with her horses and her dogs: Red and Chilly (Brittanys), Katie (German Shorthaired Pointer), Kora (Golden Retriever), and Jo (German Wirehaired Pointer) . When she visits your clinic, ask her about her favorite places to ride her horses.
