Our Veterinarians

Dr. Abby Juszkiewicz is excited to serve as Medical Director at Vancouver Veterinary Hospital.

Originally from Michigan, Dr. Juszkiewicz earned her Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Michigan. After college, she headed south to Key West, Florida, where she spent three years working with the Florida Keys SPCA and the Key West Aquarium. These experiences deepened her passion for animal welfare and set her firmly on the path to becoming a veterinarian.

She went on to complete her veterinary degree at Oregon State University in 2019 and now calls the Pacific Northwest home. Her professional interests include preventative care, soft tissue surgery, periodontal health, approachable geriatric pet care focused on quality of life, and building strong partnerships with pet owners to support their pets’ lifelong health.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Juszkiewicz and her husband love exploring the outdoors with their dog, Bingo, a German Wirehair Pointer mix rescued from Kauai. The trio often hits the road in their trailer, hiking, kayaking, and flying kites whenever they get the chance. They also share their home with two cats: Bonez, a quirky Manx adopted from the Oregon Humane Society, and Buttons, a sweet Scottish Fold who found her way to them through a grateful client.

Dr. Juszkiewicz is thrilled to be part of Vancouver Veterinary Hospital and looks forward to building lasting relationships with the local pet community. She is passionate about providing compassionate, high-quality care and helping every patient enjoy a happy, healthy life.

Amy was born in Germany but has spent most of her life in the PNW. She has had a lifelong passion for animals and has worked in vet-med since 2020. Outside of work she enjoys, hiking, skiing, playing video games, and watching movies.

Kaitlyn grew up in Chino Hills, California and recently moved to Washington with her partner. She attended Colorado State University, where she received a BS in zoology while working at a sheep and goat biomedical research laboratory. She then discovered her love for wildlife and spent two years working as a seasonal wildlife technician, where she aided in the research of threatened and endangered species in Idaho and Wyoming. She now is excited to get back into the veterinary field and spread her love of caring for all species. In her free time, Kaitlyn enjoys spending time with her three cats, caring for her school of dojo loaches, backpacking, and flying kites near the ocean.

Amanda was born in Mountain View, CA and moved to the PNW shortly after. She grew up with ferrets, great pyranees, labs, and beagles and has had a lifelong passion for animals her whole life. She graduated from the University of Oregon and moved to Vancouver with her husband. She also works as a web designer and outside of her professional pursuits, she enjoys reading, cinema, video games, and working out.

With over 13 years in the industry, James’s heart has always been in small animal medicine, where he finds genuine joy in the daily puzzles of patient care and the precision of veterinary dentistry. Most of his career was built in the Portland metro area, though he took a memorable detour to Alaska during the COVID-19 pandemic to focus on his most important role yet: raising his newborn daughter and, later, his son. Now back in the PNW and back in the clinic, he balances his love for animal health with his passion for the great outdoors. You’ll often find him recharging on the trails at Silver Falls or taking in the views from Saddle Mountain, though he’s just as likely to swap the forest greenery for the high desert sun of Joshua Tree. Whether he’s assisting in a complex dental procedure or exploring a new trailhead, James brings a steady, personal touch to everything he does.

Tessa has been working in the veterinary field for almost 5 years. She has loved and been interested in working in animal medicine since she was young. Tessa strives to learn the most that she can to help others have a better understanding of their animals!

Isabella’s passion for animals led her to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Being able to help care for pets and support the people who love them is something she is most proud of. Outside of work, Isabella enjoys spending time with her friends, family, and two cats.

Josie is a Veterinary Receptionist at Vancouver Veterinary Well Haven. She began working in the field in April 2021, spending a few years as a Veterinary Assistant before transitioning to her current role as a Veterinary Receptionist. Josie has been interested in the veterinary field since she was a kid, and she loves that she can help animals in need and provide good care. At home, she shares her life with her wonderful companion, Toothless, a 5-year-old who is always a little shadow right behind her.
