Meet The Team

Dr Denise Green

Dr. Denise has been a veterinary surgeon for over 30 years (but we're not saying she's old!)

Denise is a hard-working and fun-loving gal and when she's not performing surgery, she's performing on her beautiful horse!

Denise goes full-out with everything she does, and she LOVES her job!

Dr Julia Brown

Dr. Julia graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 1989 and has been working in small animal clinical practice since then. Julia is our rabbit surgeon. She loves working on rabbits and is doing her part to control the rabbit population!

When she's not hard at work here, you can find Julia hard at work in her garden, or practicing with Canada's oldest Town Band, the Perth Citizen's Band.

Dr Rebecca Lang

Rebecca graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, London, United Kingdom in 2009. Since then she has worked in small animal general practice and emergency hospitals. She has also volunteered in several high-quality high-volume sterilisation clinics in Greece and on the
Galapagos Islands.

She moved to Toronto, Ontario in March 2024 and joined our team at Southeastern spay and neutering clinic in July 2024 as well as offering relief locuming in her local area.
In additional to work she is completing a masters degree in Conservation Medicine of which sterilisation of pets and reducing their impact on wildlife is particularly important to her.

Outside of work Rebecca loves traveling and is keen to explore both American continents, she also has a passion for all sports involving water, especially scuba diving and enjoys baking and cinema.

Barb Bacon

Barb is the "Jill-of-all-trades" in the clinic and manages the day to day running of the place. If you want anything done, just ask Barb!

Barb is an avid runner and cyclist, and has completed over 100 half-marathons (we're not sure why).

Barb is a huge advocate for local rescues, and you can usually find a few of her foster cats living at the clinic!

Lisa Smith

Lisa's background is in the medical laboratory, but she has left human medicine and gone over to the DOG side! You can find Lisa's smiling face behind our front desk, in the back with the animals or working with Barb. Lisa is training to let Barb retire in the distance future.

When Lisa is not answering phones or generally organizing the clinic, she spends time with her husband Pat, their dog, Harley Quinn and cat Monster :)

Jennifer Barre, RVT

Jennifer graduated in 1998 from St. Lawrence College. She has worked with small animals for 23 years. Although she loves working with animals, she also has fun stuff she likes to do like backpacking, hiking and gardening.

Jennifer is a board member for Quinte West Gardens Growing Community, and she has 3 cats who were adopted from the Loyalist Humane Society...Robby, Bobby and Wade!

Pat Smith, VA

Pat is our all-around IT guy, handyman, recovery room support and token male! If it's broken, we call Pat!

Pat loves working with animals, and he has a special affinity for cats and nail polish (we're not sure why). When he's not in the recovery room or repairing something, he likes to spend time with his wife Lisa, their dog Harley Quinn and crazy cat Monster!

Kayla Greenough

Emily Hoselton

Emily spends her days holding and prepping all the patients for surgery, basically cuddling and cleaning all the four legged friends that stop by for a visit.

When Emily isn't here she's hanging out with her girl Kleo or keeping her cat Hershey out of trouble.
