IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Fraserview Veterinary Hospital strives to enhance and promote the human-animal relationship. (Because, after all, owning a pet promotes your health, too.) We wanted to provide the best care and a low-stress environment for pets during their vet visits. That is why, as part of our vision and core value, all of our doctors and support staff are Fear Free certified. So, your pet’s emotional and physical well-being is prioritized with every visit. Fraserview Veterinary Hospital puts the patient first and reduces fear, anxiety, and stress from the start.
"My 9 year old cocker spaniel was one of their first clients on the opening day. They’ve now treated her for two issues that we put off over covid, including a surgery. Dr June, Tina and the rest of the team clearly adore animals. They are patient, have a strong attention to detail and my dog adores them. Highly recommend."

“Compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable.
In a world where we all care dearly for our little furry friends and would do anything for them, it is extremely refreshing to have an experience where your vet listens and makes a decision with you (not for you) and in your best interests (not their bottom line).
Dr Chan took the time to listen to our concerns, offer insights and present our solutions with logical risk assessment for both the condition in question and the impact on our pet (who does not do well in social environments).”

"Our first visit to Fraserview Vet was great! Dr. June Siu and the staff treated our dog Momo with care, and were happy to answer all the questions that we had about Momo. I would highly recommend future and existing pet owners to come here or their sister hospital, Point Grey Vet, if you want your pets to be professionally cared for."

True to her Canadian upbringing, she spends a considerable amount of time participating in winter sports. She also adores back-country hiking and enjoying all the beauty nature offers (which certainly isn’t difficult to do in a place like Vancouver). You may even see her biking into work if you are scheduled for the first appointment of the day!
Jessica has a wide variety of professional interests, some of which include nutrition, behaviour, and acupuncture. Keeping to Fear-Free principles, she believes in making each fur baby’s visit as calm and low-stress as she possibly can.

Dr. Jeanne Lapointe
(Fear-Free Certified)
Born and raised in Montréal, I graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Montréal, in 2019. After spending 3.5 years in the Lower Saint-Lawrence valley and the Magdalene Islands working with both small and big animals, I transitioned to a small animal practice in the Laurentians, north of Montréal, where I have been for the past year. My passion lies in surgery, a field that I find immensely rewarding and challenging.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy travelling and outdoor activities. I am also trilingual, speaking French and English fluently, and Spanish, thanks to a year spent in Mexico and Central America. This experience not only helped me linguistically but also culturally, providing a broader perspective on the world and the diverse communities within it.
My journey so far has been incredibly fulfilling, and I look forward to further developing my skills and making a positive impact in the field of veterinary medicine.
Dr. Carmen Lo

After graduation, she moved to St. John’s, Newfoundland, and worked at a 7 doctor veterinary hospital for a year and a half.
