Dr. Mathew Korthauer

Veterinarian

Dr. Korthauer grew up in rural Wisconsin riding along with his dad who was a dairy veterinarian. Inspired by this experience, he entered the veterinary field and graduated from UW Madison Veterinary School in 2011. Further, he completed an Emergency and Critical Care Internship at a three-hospital network in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and enjoyed the variety of cases that he saw while there.

Dr. Korthauer worked in emergency medicine for five years then moved to Boston, working at a busy day-practice. Fortunately for us, he moved to Vancouver in 2019 with his wife and their two kitties, Fuji and Juno. He and his wife recently welcomed a new baby daughter into their lives which they are very excited about.

He loves exploring the natural beauty of BC, and loves the mountains, the ocean and the lack of cold weather. In his spare time, which is not much these days, he enjoys cooking, cycling, camping and hiking. Dr. Korthauer finds the most fulfilling part of being a veterinarian is helping sick pets get better, especially with new and creative treatments.

Veterinarian

Dr. Miguel Caminos studied at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) where he gained an interest in dogs, cats and horses. He worked two years as a veterinarian in Mexico before moving to Kamloops, BC, where he worked for a year. Currently Dr. Miguel is working as an intern for Dr. Uri, perfectioning his surgery skills and learning a lot about exotics. His favorite breeds are pitbulls and dobermans.

She is currently completing a surgery and medicine internship at Arbutus West Animal Clinic.

Angel Lo

Practice Manager

Our practice manager extraordinaire has been taking care of things behind the scenes since 2015. She’s a tiny package of big ideas, endless energy and love for all creatures, big and small. She is also our in-house translator for our clients who speak Mandarin, Taiwanese and Japanese.

When she’s not travelling the world with her awesome teddy bears you can find her at various music venues around town grooving to all kinds of funky beats or walking the seawalls with her little tail waggingly polite, impawsibily cute dog Melvin.

Sierra Weatherby

Assistant Manager

Sierra has a diverse background that is helpful in many areas of clinic operations. She previously worked in the special event field and understands the need for attention to detail in the veterinary profession in every regard. With a phone voice that rivals that of a professional, you will be fortunate to get her on the line when booking appointments! She goes the extra mile every day for staff and clients alike.

Sierra attended Grant McEwan University where she majored in theatre production. She loves to spend time gaming with a global group of friends online. With a flair for creativity, she loves to try new things and is always open to new adventures.

Rodrigo

Veterinary Technician

Rodrigo was born in Belo, Horizonte, Brazil where he spent many years as a veterinarian in small and large animal clinics. He moved to Canada with his family in 2016 and immediately completed his biology diploma at Langara College.

He has an infectious, positive personality and brings his gregarious attitude towards life every day in our clinics. He is a lovely team member, generous of spirit and heart.

He has a genuine love for all of the patients he interacts with and treats them as if they were his own. He is dedicated and loyal to his family, placing them at the heart of everything he does.

He spends his free time with them, pursuing fun adventures such as fishing, socializing with his extended family and friends and making everyone around him feel like a super star. We are grateful to have Rodrigo on our team!

He misses his two dogs in Brazil he had to leave behind because they were of advanced age. One was a Rottweiler named Katana and the other, Daryan, a Miniature Poodle.

Mallu

Veterinary Technician Assistant

Coming all the way from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Mallu was drawn to explore Canada 7 years ago and just couldn’t leave. With a background in Fine Arts and growing up surrounded by all kinds of animals, from scaley to fuzzy friends, she’s found her way into our clinic and is always excited to meet new patients. When she’s not working to help your little friends at the clinic, you can find Mallu taking photos, writing, looking for weird little trinkets to add to her collection or spending time with her two (very spoiled) cats Kyoto and Zuko.

Alex

Veterinary Office Assistant

Alex joined our team almost a year ago when she came to Canada on a Working Holiday. She is originally from Poland, but has also lived in England and the Czech Republic in the recent years. She is really enjoying her stay in Vancouver and decided to settle down long term. She’s always loved all kinds of animals and has a sheltie named Kira.
