Our Veterinary Team

	Dr. Derek Boughner Veterinarian Dr. Derek graduated from the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Program at the University of Guelph in 1998. After 8 years of experience in both a busy emergency/critical care practice and day practice, he opened the Dissette Animal Hospital in 2005. He has a particular interest in ultrasound and emergency/critical care. Dr. Derek and his family have lived in Bradford for many years. When he's not at work you can often find him at the hockey rink cheering on the Bradford Bulldogs Minor Midget A team which he manages and his son Matthew plays on. He enjoys playing hockey, most outdoor activities and spending time with his wife, children and many pets; Sammy the cat and two dogs, Misa (pictured on the left) and Chuggy. Feel free to ask where the names came from anytime. When you arrive at the clinic you will often be greeted by Misa, as she accompanies Dr. Derek to work every day.
	Kristen Veterinary Technician, Georgian College Kristen graduated from Georgian College and joined our team when we opened in 2005 and has been with us ever since. Kristen and her husband Scott live in Bradford and have three beautiful girls. They share their home with Harry, a chocolate lab, a cat named Buffy and Bugsy the bunny. We look forward to having Kristen back in September after her maternity leave for her third child comes to an end.
	Jamie Veterinary Technician, Georgian College Jamie graduated from Georgian College and joined our practice in 2011. He is a big fan of body art (as you can see) and spends a lot of his free time mountain biking. He has two cats, Lucifer and now Tucker. He has adopted our guard cat, Tucker from the clinic.
	Tamika Veterinary Technician, Georgian College Tamika joined our team as a full time Veterinary Technician in April 2016.
	Sarah Veterinary Technician, Seneca College Sarah joined the team in January 2016. She graduated Seneca College in 2014 and has been working at various emergency clinics ever since. She was born and raised in Bradford and now lives just outside of town. So far, Sarah only has one cat named Oliver or "Ollie" for short. When she isn't working, which isn't often, she likes camping, reading and loves to travel.
	Tucker Many of you will remember Tucker, our clinic/guard cat. You'll be happy to know she is alive and well and finally been successfully adopted out. She now lives with our technician Jamie.
