My Commitment To You

To our referring partner veterinarians, my commitment is to maintain open communication with you, so we can ensure that our mutual patients receive appropriate diagnostic investigations and treatment for their respective conditions, not only at the time of diagnosis but also for the duration of their treatment plan.

To pet owners, my commitment is to provide you with the information needed to allow us to work together to formulate a diagnostic and treatment plan for your beloved pet. My aim is to be able to devise a treatment plan which improves the quality of life of your beloved pet whilst also aligning with your goals and lifestyle

BIO

Dr. Bacon grew up in Yorkshire, England and attended veterinary school at the University of Liverpool. She then went on to work in general practice before completing internships and an internal medicine residency in the north east of England. Following completion of her specialty training, she worked for 18 months at a specialty private practice hospital in the UK prior to moving to British Columbia.

Dr. Bacon enjoys all aspects of diagnostics and veterinary internal medicine but her special interests include endoscopy, haematology and nephrology. She believes that a multi-disciplinary approach is key to providing the best care for her patients and their owners.

Dr. Bacon is excited to be situated in BC to follow her love of hiking, running and scuba diving. Most importantly, she loves to spend her time with her two fuzzy dogs named Ralph and Jazz.
