Meet the Doctor

Cathleen Medbury, DVM

Dr. Cathleen Medbury has been caring for animals in the veterinary field for the last twenty-five years. She started out as a kennel assistant before becoming a veterinary assistant. During her undergraduate education in Alaska, Dr. Medbury volunteered at the Alaska Sealife Center in Seward and worked at The Large Animal Research Station (LARS) with caribou, reindeer, and muskox in Fairbanks. She then obtained her veterinary technician license and was employed as a licensed technician for nine years before graduating with her DVM from Oregon State University, College of Veterinary Medicine, in 2011. Since then, she has worked as both a full-time associate and relief doctor in emergency and general practice hospitals. This has given her a broad view of veterinary medicine, affording her the skills to help guide what is best for both client and patient care.

Dr. Medbury’s philosophy as a veterinarian mirrors the values of Convenience Pet Hospitals. She strives to provide her patients and their parents with a premier, comfortable experience that’s convenient for all. She truly loves all aspects of veterinary medicine, from helping animals through emergency situations to educating parents during wellness appointments.

I enjoy making people and their animals happy. The most rewarding thing for me is to take a sick animal and make it healthy while alleviating the owner’s concern.”
