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.
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.
Amanda Beyer, DVM
Dr. Amanda Beyer earned her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from South Dakota State University in Brookings. She then completed her DVM at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, spending just over two years living on a Caribbean island before graduating in 2017. She began her veterinary career in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where she spent five years in general practice, urgent care, and on-call emergency medicine. In 2022, she and her spouse moved to Minnesota, where she practiced relief medicine at clinics throughout the Twin Cities.
Dr. Beyer joined North Paws Veterinary Clinic in 2026 and is excited to be part of the team and serve her community. Her professional interests include soft tissue surgery, infectious diseases, and small exotic animals.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Beyer enjoys hiking, paddleboarding, and camping adventures with her spouse. Their home stays lively with two dogs, three cats, and two chinchillas.
