She began working at Kingman Animal Hospital then and had the good fortune to be mentored by an excellent team of doctors and staff. It was then that she discovered that she enjoyed orthopedic surgery.
In 2007, Dr. Angone and her friend, Ruby Duey, partnered up and bought KAH. This was a dream they both had together, to run a top-of-the-line AAHA hospital in their town, and in joint efforts, they made this dream come true. In May of 2013, Dr. Angone married, and so came the change from Dr. Koenig to Dr. Angone. She now has two sons, Michael and Gabriel. Her veterinary interests include small animals, exotics, and emergency medicine, as well as soft tissue and orthopedic surgery.
