"Experienced technicians can specialize [at BBVSH], they could work in many different departments and there's many different shifts to suit different lifestyles. New grads: It's a really good way to see what's possible for you and to figure out what you're good at."
"The biggest thing I enjoy about BBVSH is the fostering of learning."
"It's a great place to grow for VAs or techs coming out of school. You can start in the ICU where you can learn the basics and then you can move on to different specialties or get the excitement of the ER where you see so many interesting cases."
"I think it's a fantastic environment for VAs and techs mostly because we learn something new absolutely every single day"
"Boundary Bay has provided me with a lot of opportunities to expand my knowledge that I would not have learned in general practice; learning about CT scans, MRIs, different types of chemotherapy. I've also dabbled in the emergency critical care side of things has been very eye opening with respect to all the things we can do for pets."
"I've done everything from neurology to physiotherapy to intensive care to critical care to surgery to liaison work all within two years. If you want to put in the time and the work, the limits are endless for what you can learn here."
"I just love the people. I love my career. They say 'If you love your job, you're not working a day in your life'."
"To the emergency veterinarians out there looking for a place to land, I can't recommend a spot more than here."
"It's a private practice and family owned. I really like the fact that [BBVSH] is not corporately owned."
"I think a big benefit of practicing ER here is the overwhelming amount of support you have. You have the advantage of always having a Criticalist on staff who will take the critical cases or help you work through them or help with the diagnostic or treatment plan."
"I think just being in a specialty hospital with so many departments as well as interacting with so many specialists has definitely helped me improve myself and serve my clients and patients better."
"In the growth process here as an ER doctor, one of the things that has been the most pivotal for me has been directly working with our Criticalists."
"The work-life balance is really great. As an emergency veterinarian I think, from a non-work standpoint, the management team really strives to make our work schedule something that enables us to have the life we want outside of work but also when we're at work, we're practicing the best medicine we can."
"Working for Geoff and Sarah has been one of the best experiences in my working career. It makes a huge difference to work in an independently-owned veterinary practice where it is so obvious how much our hospital owners care about this place and every single person that works in it."
"For other veterinarians that are interested in career opportunities, I would highly recommend Boundary Bay. It provides a really good balance where we get to see very interesting cases, we get to use our skills, we get to learn and we get to do it in a very positive and fun environment."
"The quality of life in British Columbia is bar none. I moved here because I wanted to get better at surfing, get better at sailing, get better at skiing and we can do all those things in one spot here. Not to mention having Vancouver nearby with all the cultural experiences. It's a pretty magical place."
"Ethically, [owners Geoff & Sarah] have the highest standards. Medically, they encourage you to do the absolute best medicine that's possible for that patient."
"One of the most valuable things about working here is just that ability to work down the hall and look my bosses in the eye and say 'hey, here's an issue and let's work on a solution together.' It's something I couldn't get in corporate medicine."
"I think Boundary Bay is uniquely set up to be able to provide really outstanding career opportunities. For me, it was really important for me to have the autonomy for my own service to be able to run things like I want to but also to have receptive management that I can talk to about things. I can literally call them on the phone or text them and I get the answer right away whereas that has not been my experience with more corporately owned medicine."
