Meet Our Team

Dr. Wilson obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from Simon Fraser University in 1993 and graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 1996. He purchased Lakeshore Animal Clinic in 1999 and remains passionate about our mission statement: 'Care for pets and their people with skill and compassion' .  Dr. Wilson enjoys general practice due to the diversity of care required for pets and is particularly rewarded by providing relief from arthritis pain in his geriatric patients and helping alleviate pet allergy symptoms.  Dr. Wilson strongly believes in alleviating pets who suffer from these very common affliction.During his spare time, Dr. Wilson enjoys reading, dirt-biking and spending as much time as possible in the outdoors with his family. 

Debbie recently left her previous career of 30 years in corporate management and joined Dr. Wilson to help with all aspects of the clinic operations, human resources, technology and financial operations. Her priority has been to enhance the team already in place to ensure we are poised to continue delivering the excellent care and attention that our owners and pets have come to expect and deserve. Her favorite part of the day is coming out to meet the fantastic patients that come through our doors every day and help them feel at ease. During her spare time, she swims with the OMSC, goes hiking with her 12 year old Aussie Sheppard and love camping. 

Originally from Ontario, Tianna graduated from the Veterinary Technician program at St. Clair College (ON) in 2020. Tianna worked for an emergency/exotic animal clinic as well as a small animal clinic before moving to Kelowna this December. Tianna enjoys long road trips, a good book and camping. On the weekends she is often outdoors with her two shepherds. 

Xiola grew up on a farm most of her life and her passion for animals began there. She obtained her Veterinary Hospital Assistant degree in 2022 and works closely with our Technicians helping prepare for surgeries and running various diagnostics. She has just decided to expand her career and will be going to Europe in the fall of 2023 to study Veterinary medicine. We are excited for the great opportunities ahead for Xiola! 

In her spare time, Xiola enjoys hiking, rollerblading and skiing but most of all, hangs with her baby Leo (a gorgeous Lab-Retriever) on the farm.

Denise is our front end office assistant and is the friendly voice you hear when you call! She has a love for animals especially the special needs ones. She recently adopted a Mini Dachshund Cairn Terrier mix named Atari, seen here in the picture with her. Atari has quickly taken ahold of her heart as you can see from her beautiful smile. Denise's off time is spent in the outdoors, where she love to go fishing and camping.
